Tip: Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac) runs it, from the list or from the page.

How it works

  1. Press Spin: one of the 50 states is drawn, each with the same chance.
  2. Handing out state reports? Turn on “Remove winner after each spin” so every student gets a different state.
  3. Use a region preset to keep the draw within the Northeast, Midwest, South or West.

What people use it for

  • State reports

    Each student spins for the state they will research: capital, flag, history and landmarks.

  • Geography practice

    Spin a state and ask students to find it on a blank map or name its capital.

  • Road trip and trivia

    Let the wheel choose the next trip destination or the topic of a trivia round.

Questions

How are the regions defined?
They follow the four Census regions of the US Census Bureau: Northeast (9 states), Midwest (12), South (16) and West (13).
Is Washington, D.C. included?
No. The wheel lists the 50 states only. Add “Washington, D.C.” or the territories to the list if you need them.
