Spin the wheel for a random animal

Farm animals, pets, and wild animals of the savanna, the ocean and the poles make up this wheel: 38 animals that children know or can look up easily. Each has a 1 in 38 chance, about 2.6%. It works as a game for toddlers, a drawing prompt for artists and a topic picker for school reports.

Games with the animal wheel

  • Animal charades. Spin in secret, then act it out with no sounds. The others guess. Penguins and octopuses are the most fun to watch.
  • Sounds for little ones. Spin and make the sound together. Cows, ducks and pigs are easy; a giraffe makes everyone think.
  • Twenty questions. One player spins without showing the screen. The others ask yes or no questions: does it fly, does it live in water, is it bigger than a dog?
  • Mash-up drawing. Spin twice and draw a creature that is half of each. A shark-rabbit, an owl-elephant.
  • Animal report. Give each student a different animal to research: habitat, food, size and one surprising fact.

What kind of animal will it be?

Mammals make up most of the list, so a mammal is the most likely result. The table shows how the wheel is split.

Questions

Are dolphins and whales fish?

No, they are mammals: they breathe air and feed their young with milk. That is why they are counted with the mammals in the table.

Can I make a farm animal or ocean wheel?

Yes. Delete the animals you don't need, or clear the list and type your own, one per line. The page remembers your list.

Is the wheel good for preschool?

Yes, especially with a shorter list. Keep about eight animals so the slices are big, and let each child tap Spin in turn.

Is this wheel of names free?

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