How to use this template

- Save one wheel per week, or reuse the same one and spin fresh every Sunday.
What people use it for
- A weekly household rota that nobody has to write.
- Classroom jobs, spun in front of the class so the process is visible.
- Splitting the clean-up after an event.
- Shared-house chores where “I did it last time” is a recurring argument.
Frequently asked questions
Can I stop somebody getting the same job twice in a row?
Run it the other way round: put the people on the wheel and spin once per job. Remove each person as they are drawn and everybody gets exactly one job.
How do I keep a record of who got what?
Open “Draw history” under the wheel. Every result is listed, and you can copy it or download it as a CSV to stick on the fridge.
Can two people share the biggest job?
Add it twice — “Clean the bathroom (1)” and “Clean the bathroom (2)”. Two slices, two names.
