Hmmm….and after the drinking game, you could make another list for fun things to do “in the privacy of your own home” if you know what I mean

Richard, Did you know you can remove the last chosen name from the list before spinning again? That might help and will ensure every child gets their turn. Thanks for pointing out other suggestions for the app as well.

This app is a must have for teachers. I had a similar one on m Palm and have been searching for one for my Touch for months. Volunteer o matic allows a teacher to randomly choose students to answer questions, read aloud, or participate in a discussion. Since they never know when their turn is going to come, it becomes worth their while to pay attention the whole time. It is a bit to random though. It would be better if it would cycle through all the names in the list before repeating any.

This is one handy little app! Here are some of the lists I have created that have already taken the pain out making dozens of “decisions” (alright, so I am one of those “decision making paired” folks out there)
- what’s for dinner
- dog walking
- which kid’s movie to see (again!!!)
- Italian/Chinese/American/Thai restaurant for lunch
- who makes coffee
