Random Animal Wheel
Lands on an animal at random — built for charades, classroom prompts, drawing challenges, and games with young children who want a surprise every round.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the animals?
Yes. Add farm animals, sea animals, or any set you like.
Is the random animal wheel free?
Yes, it is free with no sign-up.
Is it good for the classroom?
Yes. Full-screen mode makes it easy to display for the whole class.
Can I share a wheel with someone else?
Yes. Press Share and the link is copied to your clipboard. Anyone who opens it gets the wheel with your exact options already loaded, so a teacher can bookmark one link per class and a group can spin the same wheel from different phones. The options travel in the link itself — nothing is saved to an account, because there are no accounts.
Do I need an account to save a wheel?
No, and there is no account to make. A wheel is saved by keeping its share link — bookmark it, paste it into a lesson plan, or send it to whoever needs it. Because the options live in the URL rather than on a server, the link keeps working without anyone logging in.
