Common uses

Activity ideas and tips

The default list covers a range of indoor and outdoor activities that work for most ages without special equipment. You can edit the wheel to replace any activity with something more relevant to your family, local area, or available resources. Add your own ideas, remove anything that does not fit, and the wheel adjusts automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What age group is this for?

The default activities are aimed at primary school age and older, but many work for younger children with adult supervision. Edit the list to suit your family.

Can I add my own activities?

Yes. Type or paste any activity into the options area. Your list updates the wheel straight away.

What if nobody likes the result?

Spin again, or use Remove & Continue to take that activity off the wheel before spinning for another.

Does it work offline?

Once the page has loaded in your browser, the wheel runs locally. You do not need a permanent internet connection to spin it.

Is there a version for chores?

Yes โ€” see the Chore Wheel and Chore Wheel for Kids for chore-specific versions.

How the wheel works

How does the wheel pick a result?

The wheel selects a result at random before the animation starts. It then calculates the exact final rotation needed to land that result under the pointer. The displayed result always matches where the wheel visually stops.

Is every option equally likely?

Yes. Every option on the wheel has an equal chance of being selected. The wheel uses your browser's built-in random number generator with no weighting or bias.

Can I edit the options?

Yes. Add, remove, or edit any option using the text area on the right. Changes take effect on your next spin.
