How it works

Pick one of the 50 U.S. states

All 50 states are included with equal odds. Edit the list to focus on one region or remove states that do not fit your activity.

The default wheel includes every U.S. state once with equal odds. Edit it to focus on a region, a travel shortlist, or the states included in a lesson or game.

  1. 1

    Review the state list

    Keep all 50 states for a nationwide draw or remove entries that are outside the scope of your activity.

  2. 2

    Choose repeat settings

    Leave winners active for independent spins, or remove each selected state to work through a unique sequence.

  3. 3

    Spin for a state

    Use the result for geography practice, a research assignment, trivia, or a travel-planning prompt.

Classroom and trivia ideas

After each spin, ask players to identify the capital, postal abbreviation, region, neighbouring states, or location on a blank map. Removing results turns the wheel into a review activity that eventually covers every state.

Create a regional state wheel

For a smaller activity, paste only the states in the Northeast, South, Midwest, West, or another definition used by your source. Regional groupings can vary, so showing the exact entries avoids confusion.
