Classroom Job Wheel
Assign classroom responsibilities fairly with this job wheel. Add your classroom jobs and spin to assign them. Makes weekly job rotation fun and fair!
Perfect For
Using This Preset Well
This preset rotates classroom jobs such as Line Leader, Paper Passer, Board Cleaner, and Attendance Taker among students. It is meant for assigning one job at a time, spun repeatedly (with Remove winner) to hand out a full set of jobs fairly.
Setup checklist
- Edit the job list to match the roles your classroom actually uses.
- Turn on Remove winner if you want each job to go to a different student in a single round.
- Keep a written record of past assignments if you want jobs to rotate away from students who just had a turn.
How to read the result
With equal weights, each job has the same chance of appearing on any given spin. The wheel selects a job title, not a student; pair it with a name-picker wheel or manual assignment to match jobs to students.
Limits
It does not track whose turn it is over time. If fairness across the week or term matters, keep your own log of who has done which job.
