In today's day and age, it is important to find learning tools that incorporate both hemispheres of the brain. Private schools are always buying into the latest "miracle" learning technologies and, as a result, sometimes see better results than public schools can achieve. Private schools are proving every day that these "miracle" learning aids are actually getting significant results. The key likely lies in how the child's brain responds to fun stimuli such as the chance to win a prize.

Humans are "wired" to feel pleasure whenever they accomplish a goal. Because the student feels good when they get a chance to spin to win, that student will be more motivated to do whatever it takes to get another chance. That means that the student will participate in class, do their homework, and study for exams. Teachers in classrooms across America are reporting incredible results through the use of their mini prize wheels. Children who were once distracted and uninterested became engaged and enthusiastic after the prize wheel was introduced into the classroom environment. Grades, not surprisingly, also improved.

If you have ever been to an amusement park or a carnival, you have probably seen a spin wheel. When a player spins the wheel, they stand a chance of winning a great prize. "Wheel of fortune", the game show, is one example of how you could use a prize wheel. You can purchase these wheels in sizes ranging from baby to big. They are fully customizable with the durability to withstand thousands of spins. This is one learning aid that will not break while your students are using it. You can even replace the prize options with discussion prompts to help lead your class into an interesting discussion.

A spin wheel is not just effective in the classroom. Around the world, prize wheels have been successfully used in employee training programs to boost learning and engage employees. After you have used it as a learning aid, you can customize it with a free template and use it again. Customizable prize slots are easy to create on your office computer and printer. The moment they come out of the printer, they will be ready to insert into the prize wedges around the outer edge of the wheel. They are great for building interest at speaking engagements, creating buzz at trade show events, and adding surprises to sales meetings.
