Writing Prompt Wheel
The blank page is the hardest part of any writing task, so let the wheel choose the starting point — there's nothing left to negotiate once it's landed. Spin for an open-ended prompt, set a timer, and write. Every prompt is editable to your grade level and topic.

- Turn on “Remove winner” to work through a term of prompts without repeats.
Writing Prompt Wheel questions
How long should students write for each prompt?
A five- to ten-minute quick-write is ideal for a warm-up. For a full lesson, spin once and let the prompt open into a longer draft.
Can I add my own prompts?
Yes — the list is fully editable. Delete what doesn't fit and paste your own, one per line; the wheel resizes automatically.
