Spin the wheel is a fantastic asset that can be used to gamify your classes or workshop sessions with Wooclap in the twinkling of an eye! You can promote active participation, add a layer of fun, interactivity and foster a sense of inclusivity among your participants, whether during a classroom activity, a team-building exercise, or a workshop.

Managing groups and individuals just got a lot easier. Spin the wheel allows you to easily and quickly answer questions such as “Who goes next?” or “Which subject should we talk about today?” as well as assign roles to each member of the group with only a few clicks.
​
This feature is available to all Wooclap users. Happy spinning!

To get started, simply click on New question and choose Spin the wheel under Showcase Information.

Once you've selected the Spin the wheel question type, you can customise the wheel by adding your own propositions. You have the freedom to input various options, such as names, topics, or roles, to suit the specific needs of your session. Once you have added the different elements to your wheel, you can either click on Save if you would like to keep adding Wooclap questions to your event or Display now if you want to show the wheel to your participants directly.
​

There is one option available in the right-hand side menu: Choose among participants.

This option allows you to automatically add your participants to the wheel. Enabling this option will automatically activate the Participant username option, as an authentication is required to add your participants’ names. Participants can only be added to the wheel if two or more participants are connected.

If participants are still joining the event, you can click on the Refresh button at the bottom right of the projected screen to add participants who have joined the current event. You will be notified of the number of new participants.

You can reset the names of the connected users by resetting your event.

The wheel can also be created on the spot, directly from the projected screen, by adding it to the list of quick questions!

After adding your propositions and clicking on Display now you will be able to launch the Spin the wheel question.
​
You can either wait for the wheel to stop spinning or click on the middle of the wheel to stop it immediately. At this point, one of the options you entered will be randomly selected, adding an element of surprise and excitement to your session.
​
This random selection ensures fairness and eliminates any bias in determining the next person, topic, or role.
​

You can then choose to remove the selected option from the Wheel if you decide to spin it again.

You can test out our Spin the wheel question for free without creating an event here.
