Spin the Globe

About this tool

A spin-to-pick randomizer styled as a globe rather than a generic prize wheel — the mechanic is the same fair, no-repeat logic used across every picker on this site, but the visual framing fits classes with an international or geography angle particularly well, and works nicely as a general-purpose alternative to a plain list picker.

Paste in your class list, hit Spin the Globe, and watch the spin slow to a stop on one student, with a color-coded legend below showing exactly which name matches which segment. As with the other pickers, once a student's been chosen they won't come up again until the rest of the class has had a turn — the pool automatically refills once everyone's had a go.

Good for warm-up cold-calling, deciding who answers a review question, or simply adding a bit of suspense to what would otherwise be a plain random pick. No sign-up needed, works for any class size.
