Transition Noise Wheel and Spin Again

Spinning Wheels are a great way of introducing an element of randomness into the classroom.

A quick Google search reveals how popular spinning wheels are. They can be used for a number of games and they tin can too be used to decide the points students receive, the topic they are going to talk most or the question they have to answer.

You can find some spinning wheels online and at that place are as well apps bachelor for both iOS and Android, merely what if y'all want to use a spinning bicycle in your presentation?

So, I created a spinning wheel in PowerPoint. There are some advantages to this version. It can be inserted into any presentation past copying and pasting the slide and information technology doesn't crave an internet connection.

Watch the Spinning Wheel demo to see how it used.

Once you lot have downloaded the template, add your own text to each segment of the wheel.

1. You may choose to add points and your students spin the wheel to determine what points they win.
2. You may prefer to add topics and ask your students to discuss them over a set amount of time.
3. You could also add question markers and enquire your students to spin the wheel to determine the question they should respond.

Using the template

How you utilize the template depends on what kind of spinning wheel you create.

If you create a spinning bike with points or prizes, then it will probably back-trail a game or activity yous have already prepared. The wheel will and then be spun intermittently throughout that activeness.

What nigh creating a spinning bicycle that is the focus of the activity.

Topics

The Spinning Wheel equally projected on a surface.
This version shows different topics written in each segment.

• Set your spinning wheel by writing a topic for each segment.
• Divide your students into pairs or groups.
• Spin the bike.
• Nominate a pupil to say when to terminate the wheel.
• Stop the wheel.
• Introduce the topic.
• Encourage your students to talk nearly the topic for a set time.
• Assign a time limit of 2 minutes or negotiate a time limit with your students.
• When the time is upward, ask the students to end talking.
• Spin the wheel again.
• Introduce the next topic and set up a new fourth dimension limit.
• Repeat equally many times as necessary.

Questions

This version shows different question prompts written in each segment.

• Prepare your spinning wheel past writing a question number in each segment.
• Set up a listing of 20 questions.
• Divide your students into pairs, groups or teams.
• Spin the bicycle.
• Nominate a student to say when to finish the cycle.
• Cease the wheel.
• Ask the question associated with the question number on the wheel.
• Any student, pair, grouping or team tin answer.
  • If the answer correctly, spin the wheel. The student who got the previous question correct and say when to terminate the bicycle.
  • If the student answers incorrectly, leave the question open. Encourage the other students to reply the question.
  • If no student has respond within a time limit, spin the wheel over again.
• Spin the wheel again to introduce the next question.
• Echo as many times equally necessary or until all questions have been answered.

How the template works

Video tutorial showing how to modify the effect options.
Video runtime is one minute and six seconds.

The spinning bike was created by dividing a circle into 20 segments and and so applying a continuous spin animation, which is assigned to a trigger. The trigger in this instance is the start push button labelled 'spin.' The result is a spinning wheel that tin can be activated by clicking a button.

To create your own spinning wheel, you demand to practise the following three things:

1. Divide a circle into equal segments and then group the segment together. After which you can apply a spin blitheness.
2. Echo the animation then it continues until the adjacent mouse click.
3. Create an anchor so the PowerPoint doesn't transition to the next slide.

Creating a spinning wheel

• The spinning wheel was created by drawing a large circle.
• Rectangles that were longer than the diameter of the circle and that had a width of 0.01 were placed over the circumvolve.
• All the shapes were selected, and fragment shapes was chosen from the merge shapes option on the format ribbon.
• This divided the circle into segments. The color of each segment was inverse and a text box was placed over each segment.
• All these shapes were so grouped together.
• A smaller circle was fatigued and placed in the center of the wheel. This would act every bit the commencement button.
• The wheel group was selected and given a spin animation. The start button was assigned as a trigger for this animation.

Set a echo animation by opening the Issue Options / Timing dialog.

• Select the wheel. You lot volition find that it has a spin animation.
• Open up the animation pane.
  • Go to the animations ribbon.
  • In the avant-garde blitheness department, there is a small icon labelled animation pane.
  • Click on the icon to open the animation pane.
• Left-click on the down arrow next to the spin animation.
• Click on event options. Make sure the spin animation is set to 360 degrees.
• Go to the timing tab.
  • To get directly to the timing tab, left-click on the down arrow next to the animation.
  • Click on timing.
• Select until side by side click from the echo drop down box. The animation will now exist continuous.
• Click OK.

The anchor

The spin animation will continue until the next mouse click, only that mouse click will too motility to the side by side slide unless an anchor is created. Information technology is chosen an anchor considering it keeps you on the same slide.

The anchor is an invisible shape that is hidden behind the spin push button.

• The get-go time the spin push is clicked, the wheel begins to spin.
• The second time the spin button is clicked, the wheel will stop spinning and the hidden shape will announced and disappear in 00.02 seconds.
• Now the spin animation tin can be repeated as many times every bit necessary before yous move to the side by side slide.

Screenshot of the 'anchor' with the animation pane and selection pane open.

Circumspection: Don't delete the anchor as it will touch the functionality of the template.

The above steps should requite you some idea most how to create new spinning wheels if you want more or less segments.

Do you lot accept any suggestions regarding the Spinning Wheel?

Please go out a comment if y'all have any ideas you lot would like to share or if yous have any questions nearly the template.

Alternatively you can ship me a message on my Facebook page or on Twitter.

Thanks for reading and take care!

The Mystery Door Game is a fun way to get students involved in their ain education past providing opportunities to make choices about what they are going to learn or practise. This action can exist used to choose topics of word, cull activities, choose a claiming, or choosing a reward.

Random Choices  is based on an activity I came across in 'Drama and Improvisation' by Ken Wilson. The excel file chooses a random activity, location and fourth dimension from a list. By pressing F9, you can generate new random choices. Students tin can then explain why they are doing the action in an unusual place, or it can be used as role of a gesture or hot seat action.
