Engaging No Prep Drawing and Writing Activities with Digital Spinners


Enhance your classroom or occupational therapy sessions with the excitement of digital spinners for writing and drawing, a versatile tool loved by students. These spinners can be easily printed, laminated, and paired with a paperclip and pencil spinner for in-person therapy or classroom use. For virtual engagement, leverage the convenience of the Wheelofnames.com website. Create your own spinners and save the link to share with students via platforms like Google Classroom.

If time is a constraint, explore a collection of pre-made spinners available in my store, including a comprehensive bundle featuring seasonal, holiday, and everyday themes. Regular updates with new ideas ensure a continually expanding selection. The Free Resource Library also offers a variety of premade spinners with links to digital versions, providing diverse options for use.

Digital spinners serve multiple purposes, promoting fine motor and visual perception skills. Ideal for workstations, rotations, early finishers, small groups, special education, or school-based occupational therapy, these activities add an element of fun to your sessions. Consider incorporating them as rewards for good behavior, during fun Fridays, or for indoor recess.

Drawing activities using digital spinners involve spinning the wheel to determine the order in which different parts of a drawing should be completed. This approach fosters imagination, fine motor skills, visual perception, executive function, and planning skills. Students can further enhance their creativity by writing a story that incorporates the images spun.

For writing prompts, the spinners offer a dynamic way to engage students. Spin the wheel to generate prompts, encouraging sentence construction or inspiring creative storytelling. Whether using pictures or words as prompts, these spinners prove effective in making writing exciting even for reluctant writers. Elevate your educational experiences with these engaging and versatile digital spinners.
