Classroom Name Picker

The Classroom Name Picker helps teachers call on students fairly. Paste up to 100 student names, tap Spin, and the picked name can be removed automatically so everyone gets a turn. It works on smartboards and projectors. It is free, and names are never stored on our servers.

What the classroom name picker does

Calling on the same eager hands every day leaves quieter students out. A spin wheel makes participation random and visibly fair, and students love watching it land. This picker is made for teachers: paste your class list, spin to call on a student, and with remove-after-pick turned on, each name leaves the wheel so everyone gets a turn before anyone goes twice.

How to use it in 3 steps

  1. Replace the sample names with your students using the options panel.
  2. Leave "Remove after pick" on for no repeats, or turn it off for fully random picks.
  3. Spin to call on a student. The list of called names below tracks who has had a turn.

Classroom ideas

  • Cold-call review questions before a quiz.
  • Pick line leaders, helpers or presentation order.
  • Choose who reads aloud next during group reading.
  • Pair it with the team generator to form project groups.
