Spin for a colour
Every segment of this wheel is painted in the colour it names – red is red, navy is navy, gold is gold. Press SPIN! and the wheel stops on one of eighteen colours:
What people spin it for
- Art challenges: draw or paint something using only the colour the wheel picks.
- Outfit games – wear something in that colour tomorrow.
- Colour hunts with children: find five things in the room in that colour.
- Party games like Twister when the spinner has gone missing.
- Picking a team colour, a theme for a party, a colour for a new notebook.
Teaching colours to children
Because every segment shows its own colour, the wheel works before children can read the word. Spin, point at the segment and ask: what colour is this? Then find something in that colour. Tick Take the winner off the wheel under Options to go through every colour once:
Your own colours
Want only the colours of a rainbow, of your team, or of your paint box? Edit the list: one colour per line, and a colour code at the end gives the segment its colour – Mint|#98ff98. A line without a code takes a colour from the palette:
Under Colours you can also switch the whole wheel to a palette and back – Original colours always returns each segment to the colour it names:
