Game Spinners

The spinner template prints a circle with pictures and an arrow to cut and place on top. The spinner has 2 options: Dynamic and Classic. 

• Classic: This is the original options. Spinners are one of the first templates offered at LessonPix. If you need to recreate an older spinner to look identical - use this option. It allows 2-6 slices. 
• Dynamic: This tab allows users to create a spinner with unlimited slices and pastel or custom background colors. 

Once you print the .pdf file, attach the arrow to the middle of the spinner using a brad fasteners.  It works best to laminate the arrow and spinner and/or print on cardstock. You may also purchase plastic spinner arrows here to attach to the spinner.

Spinners are a great teaching tool for many lessons and activities. Here are a few ideas:

• Story prompt: spin the spinner to find a theme / character to write or act out a story
• Fair turn: place student photos and names and spin to see whose turn will be next
• Choosing an Activity
• Playing a Game: Great for use with our gameboards, adapt a commercial game, or create your own game
• Demonstrate Probability in early statistics
• Determine movements within an obstacle course: crawl, tiptoe, etc.
