Speaking Wheel

im thinking of a digital wheel-of-fortune wheel where different topics of speaking are written. the students can see all the topics, yet they do not know what topic will be theirs once they turn the wheel.

in my imagination the students can "spin" the wheel and once it stops the students will have to speak about the topic that falls on the pointer.

a paper wheel is the next best thing, but i dont know how to mount something big enough for 20+ students to see. plus, if it �s digital, i can change the topics every now and then.

is there such thing? or can one devise something like this? any techy person who can advise me what program to use? thanks.

Have a look through this blog:

http://esltech.wordpress.com/2009/04/07/mashable-interactive-whiteboard-activites/

This is one of the sites that is talked about:
http://www.sandfields.co.uk/games/

& here is the example talked about further down in the blog:

I �ve only had a really quick look at all the info... but I think it would suit your purpose really well. I �ll be having a closer look through when I get the time (probably next month as I �m still doing a lt of paperwork & other admin stuff)

Cheers,
AB
