School Prize Wheel
School Carnivals, Field Days, PTA Raffles and Award Draws
School events need simple, visibly fair ways to hand out prizes to hundreds of students and families. A digital prize wheel works for a carnival booth, a PTA raffle drawn at the spring concert, field-day team assignments or a graduation prize draw. Put it on the gym projector and everyone can see the winner chosen.
How to Run a Prize Wheel at a School Event
- 1
Collect entries
Gather names from raffle tickets, sign-up sheets or a Google Form and paste them in one per line.
- 2
Set up the screen
Connect a laptop to the gym or auditorium projector and open the wheel in fullscreen.
- 3
Draw prizes in order
Start with the smaller prizes and build up to the grand prize. Remove each winner so no family wins twice.
- 4
Announce and record
Read out each winner as the wheel lands, and keep the spin history open so you have a record for the PTA.
Why Schools Use a Digital Prize Wheel
Transparent to Parents
Drawing raffle winners on a big screen shows families the draw was fair, which matters when the PTA is handling donated prizes.
Handles Hundreds of Entries
Paste every ticket holder from a school-wide raffle and the wheel still gives each an equal chance.
Reusable All Year
Save separate wheels for the fall festival, field day and spring raffle and reopen them each year.
Free for Tight Budgets
No rental fees, no physical wheel to store, and no accounts for volunteers to set up.
School Event Ideas
Carnival Prize Booth
Load small prizes and let students spin for one after each game, with candy weighted higher than the big stuffed animal.
PTA Raffle Drawing
Paste every ticket-holder's name and draw winners live at the concert, auction or open house.
Field Day Teams
Spin each class into a color team, or use the random team generator to split a grade into balanced squads.
Graduation and Award Draws
Draw door prizes at graduation parties and end-of-year celebrations so every graduate has a chance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I run a raffle where some families bought more tickets?
Either add the family's name once per ticket, or add it once and set its weight to the number of tickets bought. Both give them proportionally more chances.
Can I prevent the same person winning twice?
Yes. Click Remove in the winner popup after each draw and that name is taken off the wheel for the rest of the event.
Is this suitable for a large gym or auditorium?
Yes. Use fullscreen mode on a projector. The bold segments and large winner display are readable from the back of a hall.
Do volunteers need to sign up?
No. Anyone can open the saved wheel link and run the draw, with no account or download.
