The wheel itself is simple — type names, click, get a winner. But the workflows around it (running a fair classroom rotation, hosting a livestream giveaway people will trust, splitting kids into balanced teams without anyone walking off mad) take a little more thought. These guides go deep on each one.
Pedagogy first: when raffles motivate kids and when they backfire, prize ideas that don't break the budget, and how to run the draw transparently so nobody whispers "rigged."
Random vs. balanced vs. captains-pick: when each method works, how to avoid the same kid going first every time, and why "skill-balancing" usually does more harm than good.
A curated library of 30+ ice-breaker prompts, sorted by time, group size, and remote-vs-in-person — plus rules for keeping introverts on board.
