Spin for a random month

Teachers spin it for calendar lessons, families for birthday games and planners for choosing when to take a trip. The twelve months of the year, from January to December, each have a 1 in 12 chance, about 8.3%.

Ideas for the month wheel

  • Birthday game. Spin; everyone born in that month stands up and shares one thing they did on their last birthday.
  • Calendar lesson. Spin and ask: how many days does it have, which season is it, what comes before and after?
  • Trip planner. Spin to choose the month of your next trip, then pick a place that is at its best then.
  • Writing prompt. Write a short story set in the month that comes up. Weather, holidays and light all change the mood.
  • Random date. Spin a month here, then draw a day with the random number generator. Use it for a mystery outing or a fake birthday in a role-play game.

How many days in each month?

Seven months have 31 days, four have 30, and February has 28, or 29 in a leap year. "Thirty days hath September, April, June and November" still helps.

Questions

Does a month with 31 days have a bigger slice?

No. Each month has the same slice, whatever its length. If you want a random day of the year, where long months are more likely, spin a number from 1 to 365 instead.

Can I spin only the school year?

Yes. Delete the summer months from the list, and the wheel keeps September to June, or whatever your school calendar is.

Which months are in each season?

In the Northern Hemisphere, weather services count winter as December to February, spring as March to May, summer as June to August and fall as September to November. South of the equator, it is the other way round.

Can I use the wheel with young children?

Yes. It is a good way to practice the order of the months: after each spin, the child names the next month and the one before.

Is this wheel of names free?

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