How to use the random city wheel
Fourteen major cities on one wheel. Spin for a geography starter, a quiz round, a research task, or to decide which city the class is going to “visit” for the rest of the lesson.
Spin
Click the wheel or press Space. The list spans six continents, so a geography round never lands on the same corner of the map twice.
Read the result
The winning slice is chosen with the browser’s cryptographic random number generator before the animation starts, so the spin plays out a decision that has already been made fairly.
Edit, share, or project it
The list stays editable — add, remove, or reorder lines and the wheel redraws. Copy the share link to send your version to someone else, or go fullscreen so the wheel is readable across a room.
About this tool
A city wheel is a good way to run a recurring five-minute geography slot. Spin on Monday, and the class has a week to find its population, its language, its climate, and one thing nobody in the room knew.
It also works as a travel daydream: put the places you would actually consider on the wheel and let it choose. If you immediately want to spin again, that is information about the list.
Frequently asked questions
- How were these cities chosen?
- For recognisability and spread: every populated continent is represented, and each city is well documented enough that pupils can research it without hitting a dead end.
- Can I use countries or capitals instead?
- Yes. Paste any list you like — capitals, countries, US states, UK counties — and the wheel works exactly the same.
- Does it show me where the city is?
- No. This is a picker, not an atlas. It gives you the name; the map is your next tab.
