Create A 'Wheel of Fortune' Spinning Name Selector in PowerPoint
ฝัง

- In this tutorial I'll show you how to align shapes radially in a circle with exact accuracy so that you can create an animated spinning wheel of names or text that can be used in Microsoft PowerPoint as, for example, a random student name picker.
** Please note that if using an older version of PowerPoint (2006 or earlier) you will need to make the change below **
I have discovered that this can be an issue for older versions of PowerPoint. The solution is to add a slide before the wheel slide, with an automatic transition to the next slide set to as short a time as you can - 0.2 seconds. Then add a button on the wheel slide that says 'Reset' that links back to the first slide. When you play the presentation the first slide won't even be seen because it will transition straight to the wheel slide, and then when you click the reset button you'll find that the wheel resets and the result is always random.

Absolutely brilliant! This is a fantastic idea with easy to follow, step by step instructions. I've been a trainer/facilitator for over 30 years and I had no idea this tool was so easy to make. It will be extremely helpful in the classroom and avoid the impression of playing favorites or "picking on" certain students. I love it! Thank you so much.
Since last week, I have been looking for a random name generator that I can use for my report this week to keep my classmates' attention during the presentation. This is one is the best, if not the best. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent. Thank you. Now that I am teaching in Zoom, my students are silent. This is absolutely perfect and easy to follow.
Thanks a lot for putting this here! It’s a big help, and you explained it in a way that a viewer can duplicate what you did or make their own because your instructions were clear and complete.
First tutorial I went through step-by-step and everything worked just as you said (and I love the accent). Thank you.
This is probably the easiest to follow tutorial I have ever tried. Thank you very much!
This is such a great video - your explanation was clear and easy to follow, you have the perfect voice and speed for instructional videos. Thank you! You also didn't take hours to do it, just the amount of time it actually takes. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you so much for sharing your great content. You have no idea how much I needed this and how excited I am to start using it. The way you explain on the video is so clear and easy to follow I created my wheel at the first try along with your video. I really appreaciate your work.
Thank you so much, I'm very glad you liked it
I am so happy i found this channel last summer. I've learnt so much and created so many new games for my classes this year. Thank you so much for sharing all those wonderful ideas. Keep them coming. Especially during this long summer holiday when we have so much time on our hands to try new things. 🍹🌻😂
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am really glad you're finding this channel useful, and I certainly have many more ideas planned to be sharing on here very soon!
Can u please share those games
@@TheTechTrain the name of the student is repeating. I linked a 1st slide to the reset option. Still I am getting the same
Just brilliant! So clearly explained so that non-tech people can easily follow. Many thanks!
This was so helpful! I actually made 3 different spinners on one slide for a math lesson on shape attributes. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Oh!!!
Thank you soooo much! This video was so helpful. The instructions were clear and very easy to follow!! Fantastic!
Thank you so much. So easy to follow along and make it with you! Probably one of the fastest and easiest tutorials I have found. Will check out your others!
Thank you! Excellent tutorail - I created my spinner as I was watching you and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much!
AMAZING! Clear and concise instructions that only a complete dunce would not be able to follow! Thank you
Thank you for the very easy-to-follow directions! This worked great!
This is a great and easy to create wheel. Thank you for sharing. I've had to watch a few times but I think I have it down now, after making several different wheels for different contests. They are always fun and engaging.
I'm so glad you found it helpful Nancy Tropea
I really appreciate your help with creating the wheel! 🙏🙏🙏 The instructions are the easiest to follow, and I very much admire how you use the tools in Excel. Brilliant!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏 Many thanks indeed!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Very well presented, clear and easy to understand. Well done!
clearly presented and well thought out to ensure there is almost no wasted steps!! can't thank you enough !! i watched all the ads hahaha
This is a shame that this is how the quality of the channel with quality contents has a bit of subsribera and views. Way to go, and thank you for making me a lot of things learned!!!
I'm very glad you found it useful! Subscribers and views are steadily growing - feel free to share and spread the word!
Thank you so much! That is truly a fantastic video; great explanation and pacing. You are clearly an effective educator. Cheers sir!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I'm very glad you like it
Thank you so much for the help! This video was sooo helpful. I created a spinning wheel for our office and everyone loved it. Appreciate the guidance and support.
I'm so glad, and thank you for your support.
OMG I really enjoyed watching you do this!
Actually if you put equal numbers to all chat parts it will distribute itself the radial space for each segment and they will be equal. So you don't have to do that math, just put 1 to each cell in right column
Excellent, thank you for the simple, clear explanation. I am going to try that creating multiple layers for cascade choices
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been searching for a way to create a spinning wheel for quizzes for quite a while!!
Awesome tutorial! Helped me put together a wheel of fortune game for my class ‼️
I'm so glad you liked it Lissa

Great video. Just made this for a class of 46 students in Vietnam. Should make choosing someone to answer speaking questions a little more exciting, Thanks!
I'm so glad you liked it! A class of 46 students - that's quite a large group! Greetings to Vietnam from the UK.
Thank you so so much! Your tutorial is just perfect.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic tutorial! I needed a wheel with numbers, so I went ahead and put them in as my category names on the pie chart so that I didn't have to mess with inserting them later. Thank you!
Fabulous . Thank you so much . Clear explanations and very easy to follow. Loved it :)
I'm so glad you liked it! I'm actually working on a video at the moment that takes this idea much further, including 3D, so look out for that!

Glad it helped!
Such a clear and extremely helpful tutorial - thank you!
This was an extremely good video presentation. Really liked it.
Hello there! Could you tell me how to stop the wheel? It keeps moving round and round. Thank you!
Thank you Alessandra, I'm so glad you liked it.
It's covered in the video Suad.
That was amazing! Thank you. I tried it first on my Mac and realized that the 2019 version of pp doesn’t allow developer tab so luckily I have a windows computer lying around. Thanks again!
I'm so glad you liked it, and I hope you find it useful.
I am so upset they took the developer tab from Mac. :( I can't do this
Nice tutorial, thanks for explaining in detail.
I'm so glad you liked it.
you`re my hero, my PPTs are so much better now. Thank you so much
I'm so glad you liked it, and found the video useful!
@@TheTechTrain I've learnt loads and you explain it well. Can't wait to learn more.
You're so kind, and I'm just so glad you're enjoying them. Plenty more on the way! In fact right now I'm recording a video that takes the random name spinner idea I to a whole new dimension - literally! 😁
@@TheTechTrain can't wait! My wheel is soooo cool!
Imagine it in 3D, and with multiple wheels all coming together! 😁👍
I loved the way u explained. U explain really well. I made the wheel in the first try. Thank u so much for sharing this. I subscribed and liked ur channel.
I created this wheel and it was fun even my MC said she was impressed..thank you so much for this!
Thank you Laurie Fuller, I'm so glad you liked it.
Thanks a bunch for this. Very informative and helpful.❤️❤️
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Hi. Thank you so much. By following your instructions I was able to create the wheel successfully. I'm really glad. 😍
So easily explained! Thank you!
That was indeed useful. Thank you so much! 💓
Thank you so much for creating this tutorial! I really enjoyed and benefitted from it 🤩
Thank you so much, I'm very glad you liked it
thank you soooo much, as an english teacher (i'm mexican btw) it would help me a lot in my future classes.
Thank you so much for this!!!! Very interesting and informative
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this great quick and easy tutorial!
You're very welcome!
Great video and thank you for sharing this with us. I create a wheel while listening, pausing, listening and it was difficult. Thanks again for the step-by-step tutorial.
I'm very glad you found it useful
Thank you for the clear instructions!!
Thank you so much! This was so easy to follow. You are an awesome teacher. :)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful.
thank you so much. i created my own wheel. that was awesome.
Thank you very much for making this video, it was extremely helpful
0:48 Subbed so quick. I'm nearly 70 but love learning new stuff. Thanks.
Thank you sooo much for this tutorial!
You are so welcome!
This tutorial was so useful and so well-presented. Thanks a lot, I came up with a pretty nice wheel :)
Thank you! I will definitely use this in my class!
Thanks for the super helpful and detailed instructions. You mentioned about midway through that you had an idea for how to use the empty spaces on the wheel (if the class isn't full), but then you didn't tell us what that idea was?
Hello Sandra, I'm so glad you like the tutorial. I'm sorry I must have completely forgotten to mention those ideas. One easy idea is to put a sweet or some other treat as a prize for whoever is chosen next, for example. another idea is to have a free life line be available for the next person chosen. Effectively the blank spaces become extra rewards for whoever is chosen next. I hope this helps.
Very clever idea and great, straightforward presentation. Liked, subscribed and thank you
Thank you so much! That's very much appreciated, and I'm really glad you like the idea. I hope you find it useful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been looking for something like this and I'm so happy I found this video! You are awesome!
Best explanation I found
I need my wheel to stop at certain points. When I click to make it stop its jumping to another spot. Any thoughts?
Thank you very much!And greetings from Croatia!
You're very welcome! And greetings to Croatia from the UK!
Very clear explanation. Many thanks,
Terrific presentation - one comment - if using this stand-alone, it will be useful to set the transition to not advance on a mouse click (because clicking anywhere other than in the circle will cause the presentation to end). This tutorial was EXTREMELY easy to follow! Thank you very much. I have made other spinners in the past but this technique is by far the best!
Thank you sir for this video.It helped me to inprove my presentation a lot
Wonderful! Thank you so much for the clear and informative tutorial.
Thank you, I am so glad you liked it!
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! This was awesome!
Excellant. Thank you just created step by step. The only issue i am trying to resolve a wonky spinner. I have tried stretching my wheel but it doesnt spin as prefectly as yours.
That can happen when you've converted your chart to a group of circles, if you haven't aligned it correctly over the centre point, or if you have inadvertently included an extra line or shape when grouping the segments.
Thank you. Great help.
This is great and brilliant tutorial. Thank you. very useful.
love this presentation, had a quick question, and maybe the answer will not be so easy. I would like to do a wheel presentation with 10 topics on the wheel. The first spin will determine the 1st topic discussed, then spinning again for the 2nd and 3rd topic and so on. My question is this: "Is there a way to make sure the wheel does not re-select a topic already discussed? In other words, can the wheel essentially do a countdown for you. 1st spin is topic A, 2nd spin is topic B, and so on?
Yes, it could be done, but you'd need to change the way this works and do it through code. I do have a video planned that does use code to 'preselect' the result, and you could adapt this to do what you're wanting. Make sure you're subscribed so you know when the video goes live.
This is so AWESOME! How fun! Thank you!
Beautifully done and very useful. Thank you!
You're very welcome, thank you!
Brilliant and so easy to follow! Thanks
Thank you! Just what I needed. I've learnt a lot.
You're very welcome, and I'm so glad you found it useful
A W A S O M E!!!!! THA'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! MAN, YOU ARE GENIUS!!!! FOR THAT I'LL SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL!!!
Thank you so much!
This is fantastic!! I made the wheel, ready to put the names on, but for some reason the wheel doesn't spin. I have the wheel as a group, added animation as spin & appear. To try & find my mistake I have changed the trigger to the arrow,, etc. Nothing. When I click on the wheel all I get is the options of changing names, etc. Trying to figure out what I did wrong.
Thank you for that tutorial! It's very well explained!
Thank you!
Thank you so much, really helped me!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! Why does it appear that my wheel is spinning in a circular fashion instead of the center of the wheel staying stationery and spinning from the center? I only have 8 wedges.
Thank you uploader. You helped me a lot!
