Culture & Ethnicity Picker Wheel (Random Selector)
Need a quick way to choose a culture or ethnicity for a prompt, activity, or game? This wheel comes preloaded with 47 slices (for example: American, African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Asian Americans, Puerto Ricans, Indigenous peoples, Mexicans, Han Chinese, and more). Use it as-is, or tailor it to your context.
Great ways to use it
- Writing prompts: pick a background for a character and build respectful details through research.
- Classroom warm-ups: select a topic for a mini-presentation or discussion starter.
- Icebreakers & trivia: choose a community to explore through food, language, history, or geography.
Customize the wheel (recommended)
This is a big wheel, so it’s worth a quick edit:
- Trim or group items to match your lesson, setting, or audience.
- Adjust weighting if you want certain slices to appear more (or less) often.
- Enable elimination mode to keep results from repeating during a session.
Keep it thoughtful
Culture and ethnicity are personal and nuanced. If you’re using the result as a prompt, consider adding your own guidelines (e.g., “research before you write,” “avoid stereotypes,” and “let people self-identify in group activities”).
