A letter, fairly picked

The wheel holds all 26 letters, each with the same chance. It is made for games like Scattergories, preschool phonics practice and naming exercises.

Spin, then ask players to name a word, an animal, a city and a food that start with the letter. Play ten rounds and add up the points.

Adjusting for the game

Remove hard letters like Q, X and Z for younger children, or keep them for an extra challenge. Use Remove winner after each spin so a letter is not repeated in one game.
