It is becoming increasingly clear that, for the best results, teachers need to make use of a learning tool that stimulates both the right and left hemispheres of the brain during learning. With a limited budget, public schools find it difficult to find the money to pay for yet another "miracle" learning aid. Private schools are proving every day that these "miracle" learning aids are actually getting significant results. Sensory stimulation likely has a lot to do with the efficacy of a learning aid.

The human brain, like that of lower mammals, is "wired" to experience pleasure when a desirable result is achieved. When you give a student a chance to spin the wheel whenever he or she gets a correct answer, they will work harder to study and participate in class to increase their chances of getting another chance to spin to win. Prize wheels have been improving student motivation in classrooms across America. Children that once felt the need to be the class clown buckled down and improved their grades after the spin wheel was introduced into the classroom.

If you have ever been to an amusement park or a carnival, you have probably seen a spin wheel. Every player who spins the wheel has a chance of winning a 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. Regardless of what size prize wheel you get, you can easily customize your new wheel with free templates. This is one learning aid that will not break while your students are using it. To make it more interactive, insert questions into the prize wedges around the outer edge of the wheel to stir up a class discussion.

A spin wheel is not just effective in the classroom. They are also great for employee training programs. In fact, they have been used for this purpose around the world. Once you are finished using it in the classroom or employee training program, you can customize it again and use it at the company meeting or even to host an innovative marketing campaign. Customizable prize slots are easy to create on your office computer and printer. Once they have been created, simply slide them into the prize wedge on the prize wheel. From injecting fun into dull sales meetings to drawing crowds at the trade show, these wheels can do it all.
