About the 50 States Wheel
This wheel holds all 50 US states, ready for social studies. Use it to hand out state report topics, run a geography game or pick a state of the day. Remove Winner is on, so each state leaves the wheel once it’s chosen and no two students get the same state.
Ways to use a 50 states wheel
State reports
Students spin for their report state. Each state comes off the wheel, so no state is assigned twice.
Find it on the map
Spin a state and race to find it on a classroom map, then name the states that border it.
Capitals quiz
Spin a state and ask for its capital, its region or one fact about it.
State of the day
Spin each morning and add a fact about the state to a class chart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all 50 states on the wheel?
Yes — every state from Alabama to Wyoming. Add Washington, D.C. or US territories on new lines if you want them too. Long names may be shortened on the slices, but the full name shows in the result card.
Can a state be picked twice?
Not while Remove Winner is on: each state leaves the wheel when you close the result. Turn it off in Wheel Settings if you want every spin to use all 50 states.
