Spin for a country of the Americas

From Canada to Chile, this wheel holds the 35 independent countries of the Americas: North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Each spin gives every country a 1 in 35 chance, about 2.9%. Territories such as Puerto Rico, Greenland or French Guiana are not countries in their own right, so they are not on the list.

Ideas for the Americas wheel

  • Spanish class. Spanish is an official language in 18 of these countries. Spin, say whether Spanish is spoken there, then name the capital in Spanish.
  • Pan-American road trip. Spin twice and estimate the driving distance between the two countries, or whether you would need a boat.
  • Caribbean round. Keep only the 13 island countries and test who can place them on a map.
  • Flag sketch. Spin and draw the flag from memory, then compare with the real one. Many flags of Central America share blue and white stripes, which makes this round harder than it looks.
  • Football or baseball? Guess the most popular sport in the country that comes up, then check. In Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela the answer is baseball, not soccer.

Countries by part of the Americas

The Caribbean has many small island nations, so it comes up more often than you might expect.

Questions

Is Mexico in North America or Central America?

In the UN regions, Mexico is part of Central America. This page counts it with Canada and the United States, the way most people in North America do. It makes no difference to the spin.

Can I spin only Latin American countries?

Yes. Keep the 18 Spanish speaking countries plus Brazil and Haiti, the usual list of 20 Latin American countries, and delete the other lines.

Why is Puerto Rico not on the wheel?

Puerto Rico is a US territory, not an independent country. Type it on a new line if your game includes it.

Is this wheel of names free?

Yes. It is free to use, funded by advertising, with no account and no app to install.
