Wordwheel.

A letter, a clue and a little teamwork. Take your students around the alphabet as they work out the answers, collect points and see how much of the wheel they can complete.

Let’s play Wordwheel

Bring everyone together around the wheel and see where the next letter takes you.

Wordwheel letter A clue asking for a scientist who studies stars and planets — **What could the answer be?**Each letter comes with a clue. Read it together, think of an answer that fits the letter, then type it in and find out whether your team has got it right.

An A could be an astronomer, a C could be a circle and an H could be a habitat. Build a wheel around what you teach, or mix topics for a little of everything.

Wordwheel reveals Astronomer as the correct answer — **Enjoy those lightbulb moments.**A correct answer earns points and marks the letter as solved. Stuck on a clue? Use a hint to uncover some letters, or pass and come back to it later.

Wordwheel podium showing Foxes, Owls and Bears in the final standings — **Give your teams a cheer.**Watch the wheel change as you work through the clues, then celebrate your teams at the end. You can finish early if your lesson needs to move on.

Make it your own

Bring along your topic: Write clues for the ideas, people and words your students have been learning, or let AI help with a first draft. Check the answers and make the clues suit your group.
Play at your pace: Add a timer for a lively challenge, or leave it off and give everyone time to think. You can pause the timer while you talk through an idea.
Lend a helping hand: Teams have a limited supply of clues to reveal letters when they need a nudge. Choose straightforward scoring or try the mode that rewards quicker answers.

Where will you take it?

Welcome everyone back: Bring back familiar ideas from previous lessons with a few letter clues. It is a friendly way to get everyone thinking and sharing what they remember.
Put names to ideas: Explore scientific terms, historical figures, musical instruments or geographical features. After an answer, ask your students what else they know about it.
Round off a topic: Turn the key ideas from a topic into an alphabet challenge. Come back to the clues that caused a pause and give everyone a chance to explain their thinking.

What will your students play next?

Choose something you’re teaching and make it a game you can enjoy together.
