Classroom caller: random student name picker wheel
Paste the class list once, spin to pick who answers next, and take each called student off the wheel so everyone gets a turn. Fair, visible and quick.
Click the wheel or press space to spin
How does the classroom caller work?
The classroom caller is a name wheel preset for teachers: paste your class list, spin to call one student at random, and remove that name so nobody is called twice before the round ends.
- Paste your class list
The bulk box is already open. Paste names one per line, or type them; the sample names show the format.
- Spin to call a student
Tap the wheel, press space or use the spin button. Put the page fullscreen so the class can watch.
- Remove the called student
Choose remove and spin again in the popup, or set after win to remove, so the next spin only picks students who have not had a turn.
Why teachers use this wheel
It makes calling on students fair and visibly so, it handles a whole class in one paste, and the list can be saved for the next lesson.
- No student called twice
Remove after win takes each called name off the wheel until you reset the list.
- Whole class in one paste
Up to 1,000 names, so a class, a year group or a club all fit.
- Sit out without deleting
Untick an absent student and they skip today without leaving the list.
- Save the class for next time
Sign in to keep each class as its own wheel and open it in any lesson.
- Fair and visible
Equal segments and crypto.getRandomValues mean every student has the same chance and can see it.
Teachers ask these questions most, so the answers are here.
Classroom caller questions
Can I use this wheel for an online class?
Yes. Share your screen with the wheel fullscreen, or share the wheel link so students open it themselves. It runs in any browser with nothing to install.
How do I stop the same student being picked twice?
Set after win to remove in the advanced settings, or choose remove and spin again in the popup. Called students leave the wheel until you restore the list.
How many students can I add?
Up to 1,000 names on one wheel. Paste them one per line; blank lines are ignored.
Is the classroom wheel really random?
Yes. Each spin draws from crypto.getRandomValues with equal segments for every name, so no student is favoured. The fairness page shows how to check.
Can I save my class list?
Yes. Sign in, save the wheel with the class name, and it is in your dashboard for the next lesson. Without an account the list is gone when you leave the page, so save it once and reopen it from there.
