Number wheel 1 to 10
Ten numbers, ten wide slices, each with the same chance. It is the wheel to reach for with young children, small groups and anything that needs a number you can count on your fingers.

Counting games for ages 3–6
- Show me: spin, then everyone holds up that many fingers. Say the number out loud together.
- Count and move: the number is how many jumps, claps or stomps the group does. Keep it to ten so little legs last the whole game.
- Make ten: spin a 6 and the child says what goes with it to make 10 (4). Number bonds to ten are the backbone of early addition, and the wheel turns drilling them into a game.
- Ten frame: draw a 2 × 5 grid on paper, spin, and fill that many boxes with counters or crayon dots.
Guess my number
- One player secretly writes a number from 1 to 10.
- Everyone else takes turns guessing; the writer answers only “higher” or “lower”.
- Whoever guesses it spins the wheel to choose the next secret number, so nobody has to think one up.
With careful halving you never need more than four guesses on a 1–10 range. Older kids enjoy working out why.
Other everyday uses
Number up to ten players and spin for who goes first. Spin a rep count for a quick break between homework pages. Number your takeout menu’s top ten dishes and let the wheel order. For a bigger range or several numbers at once, the random number generator is quicker; for 1–20 there is a 1–20 wheel.
Questions and answers
Does every number have the same chance?
Yes. Each of the ten slices has a 1 in 10 chance on every spin, and a number that just came up is as likely as any other to come up again. If you want to favor one, add a weight such as “7 *2”.
How do I get the numbers 1 to 10 without repeats?
Turn on Remove the winner after each spin in Options. After ten spins every number has appeared exactly once, which gives you a random order for ten players or ten tasks. Press Reset to start again.
Can I start at 0 instead?
Type 0 on a new line in the entry box and delete the 10, or use the digit wheel, which already runs from 0 to 9.
