A random state picker for all 50 states
Spin to pick one of the 50 United States at random. Each state has exactly the same chance, and the result appears in big text when the wheel stops.
Classroom ideas
- State reports: spin to assign each student a state to research and present.
- Capitals quiz: spin a state and ask the class for its capital.
- Map practice: students find the chosen state on a blank map.
- Facts race: who can share three facts about the state first?
Turn on Remove winner automatically so every student gets a different state.
Road trips and travel
Looking for your next adventure? Remove states that are too far from home, then spin for a destination. Planning a big trip? Spin several times with removal turned on to build a random route. You can also try a “50-state challenge”: spin once a month and try a food, a film or a book from that state.
