I created this spinner pattern for students to create in reading centers, but it would be great for any content area where students need to learn vocabulary or review material. Students fill in words and definitions (you could also have them do small illustrations, symbols, or sentences) for 5 vocabulary words on the wheel. They then cut out and put together with a brad to create a wheel that they can use to practice or review vocabulary terms. This could also be used as an assessment. The spinner could be adapted to question / answer as well instead of vocabulary--great for test review or a homework assignment.
Updated! The spinner pattern now includes both a vocabulary spinner as well as a question/answer review spinner, and full directions.
If you like the spinner, be sure to leave feedback and check out my other resources. I have several more language arts resources that may interest you, including 2 great I Have / Who Has games for reading and grammar. I also have many file folder games that are great for centers.
Please do not copy this activity for an entire grade level or school. If your colleagues like the activity, please send them to Teachers Pay Teachers! Thank you!
Thank You!

I bought this to use with my sped students. Words well, except since it is for vocabulary words, it needs to say "word" and "definition" instead of "question" and "answer"...just my opinion.

Thanks for your feedback Ziggy! I just uploaded an updated version with the revision you suggested. You should be able to download again on your downloads page.

Thanks! I originally saw this idea on a different website. However, it was going to cost $20 for a website subscription. I thought I would check over here first! This is what I needed. I needed a hands-on activity for working with vocabulary. My 7th graders will like it.

I'd be interested to know what website you saw it on and if it was the exact same product. If it's the same, it shouldn't be listed anywhere else.

Love this! Clever, clear, hands-on game practice that children can use with peers or on their own. I'm delighted I get to use this without having to create it myself, and directions are easy to follow.

Hi Anna,
Bought your vocab spinner and really like it, but I need clearer directions. The circle that is labelled as "Vocabulary spinner" goes on top, but what happens to the dark areas? Is on of those two triangles supposed to be cut out, to show just the word, for example, then the student answers with the definition? On the other circle, do the students write the word in the same little box where it says "word 1"? I love this, but would love it more if directions were included with the templates, and were clearer, so I don't have to spend time playing with it to understand. On the other hand, it could be that I've had a long day, or it's just my brain being slow! Either way, please clarify, then I'll be happy to provide feedback!
