Wheel of Fortune (Dry Erase Edition)

When I was in 3rd grade, I wanted a way I could play Wheel of Fortune at school, without mucking around with trying to shove a board game in my bookbag/lunchbox. I drew the puzzleboard (complete with those cool spikes they had in 1996), a rudimentary Wheel (which I actually formed as a strip of values, to fit easier on the paper) and a used letter board. I slipped it inside a plastic sleeve and it became dry erase.

It actually served me pretty well, and in the event that you may have a binder or a notebook or the ability to laminate, this remade version may serve somewhat well.

How would one "spin the wheel" in your version? My guess is rolling a pair of dice and moving a colored pawn along the dollar amounts.

That would work (and would probably be better) but when we were kids, we'd just shut our eyes and run our index finger rapidly over the values and stopping randomly. You'd be surprised how hard it is to remember space locations like that. It works well.
