Pick a number between 1 and 30
Spin for a number from 1 to 30. Each one has about a 3.3% chance. Thirty is about a month of days, and a typical class size.
A random day of the month
April, June, September and November have thirty days. For those months, the number you spin is the date.
- Plan a surprise: spin for the date of a surprise dinner or a day trip.
- Bill reminders: can’t decide when to schedule a monthly task? Let the wheel pick and stick with it.
- Content calendar: spin for which day of the month a post or newsletter goes out.
For other months, change To to 31, or to 28 or 29 for February.
30-day challenges
Thirty-day challenges keep things fresh when you don’t know what’s coming next. Write thirty tasks, like a new recipe, a short walk, or a page of sketching, number them, and spin each morning. Choose Remove from wheel so each task only comes up once.
Tip: Keep the challenge list next to the wheel in a note on your phone, so the number you spin always matches the same task.
Class roll call
- Pick a student: number your class list from 1 to 30 and spin.
- Presentation order: spin with Remove from wheel to set the order for the whole class. The Results tab has the full list.
- Seat swap: spin for each student’s new seat number.
Fair and random
Your browser’s cryptographic random number generator picks each result before the spin. Every number gets the same slice, every time. For two weeks, try 1 to 14. For a bigger class, try 1 to 40.
