Tip: Anna *3 gives Anna three chances.

🖼️ Photos

Add pictures of people, pets or things. Each photo takes its file's name (ava.jpg becomes "Ava") and appears in every game. Photos stay on this device and are not in share links.

    Tip: start a name with an emoji, like 🍕 Pizza, for a picture without a photo.

      Ways to use this list

      • Morning meeting: one question, everyone answers in a sentence.
      • Family dinner: a spin keeps conversation going without phones.
      • Team meetings: a quick warm-up before the agenda.
      • Writing warm-up: answer the question in five sentences.
      • Big class, little time: press Quick answers and go round the room with one-word answers; thirty students are done in under two minutes.
      • Question wall in grades 3–5: post the day's question on the door, students answer on a sticky note as they come in, and you read a few aloud while you take attendance.

      Press Spin the wheel, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a duck race, hat, claw machine and more.

      Questions people ask

      Are the questions suitable for children?

      Yes: they're written for classrooms and family dinners, with no personal or sensitive topics.

      What makes a good question of the day?

      One with no wrong answer that anyone can answer in a sentence, and that tells you something about the person. Either-or questions are quickest; "What would you change about school?" gets the longest answers, so save it for a day with time to spare.

      How do I stop the same students answering every time?

      Put your class on the classroom name picker and pick three or four names after each question. No repeats is on there from the start, so everyone is asked during the week. Anyone put on the spot can say "pass" or "come back to me".

      Can I avoid repeating questions?

      Nothing to set: No repeats until everyone is picked is already on, so each question comes up once before any repeat. At one a day, the 30 questions last six school weeks.

      Do you have questions for adults or teams?

      Try the icebreaker questions wheel. It is written for meetings, workshops and new groups: first jobs, comfort food and perfect Saturdays rather than dragons and superpowers.
