Spin for a number from 1 to 25
Twenty-five slices, each with a 4% chance. It’s a common class size, the number of days in an advent calendar, and the number of squares on a five by five grid.
A shuffled advent calendar
Most advent calendars count from December 1 to 25. Shake it up: each day, spin and open the door with that number. Choose Remove from wheel after each spin so a door can’t come up twice. Your wheel is saved in your browser, so it picks up where you left off the next day, on the same device.
Tip: Doing a 25-day activity calendar for kids? Write 25 small activities on a list, number them, and let the wheel choose one each day.

Fair every time
Each spin is picked by your browser’s cryptographic random number generator before the wheel moves. Every number gets the same slice. For a bigger class, try 1 to 30.
