End of Day Reflection Wheel

The last five minutes of the school day are easy to lose to packing up, yet a short reflection helps students remember what they learned and leave on a calm note. This wheel holds 20 reflection questions, such as what was tricky and what helped, who did you help today and what will you tell your family about today. Spin one while bags are packed and coats are on, then hear a few answers. Over a week the questions cover learning, effort, kindness and goals, so the routine never feels repetitive. Many questions also work well as exit tickets.

How do you use the end of day reflection wheel?

  1. The wheel is ready with 20 entries. Press Spin, click the wheel or press Space, and the result appears in the middle.
  2. Open Edit entries to change the list for your class, or press Use my class instead to spin your students' names.
  3. Press Present (or F) to show just the wheel on the board. Turn on Take winners off the wheel in Settings if you don't want repeats.

Ways to use it in class

  • Circle time: spin a question and go round the circle, with everyone allowed to pass.
  • Exit ticket: students write their answer on a sticky note and post it by the door on the way out.
  • Weekly look back: on Friday, spin three questions about the whole week rather than the day.

Questions teachers ask

Can I change what's on the wheel?

Yes. Open Edit entries to add, remove or reword anything, one entry per line. Your changes last until you leave the page, and Restore brings back the original list.

Can I spin my students' names instead?

Yes. Press Use my class instead to swap the entries for your saved class, with absent students left off. Press the back button in the same place to return to this wheel's entries.

Is every entry equally likely?

Yes. The result is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random number generator before the wheel moves, and every slice has the same chance. Turn on Take winners off the wheel in Settings to avoid repeats.

Will ads show on my projector?

No. Press Present (or F) and the screen shows only the wheel and the Spin button, in large type for the back of the room.
