Fun things to put on a spin wheel
Good wheel tasks are short (under a minute), possible for everyone in the room and a little bit silly. Mix easy ones with a few harder ones, and always include one or two treats, such as “pick the next song”, so landing on the wheel feels like a game rather than a punishment.
Wheels for every group
- Parties: party games, then the truth or dare wheel for later in the evening.
- Classrooms: reward ideas, the name picker for turns and the question wheel for warm-ups.
- Work: team prizes, icebreakers and the team generator for breakout groups.
- Streams: streamer challenges with the transparent OBS link from Share.
