Tap a card to keep it. Turn on "Hide names" for a guessing game.
How to use the random object generator
- Pick how many objects. One at a time, or up to 50 random things at once, each with a picture.
- Choose a difficulty. Easy objects are the most common words (car, clock, umbrella). Hard ones are rarer words (abacus, stethoscope).
- Pick a view. The list is good for scavenger hunts and writing; "One object" with a timer is good for drawing games.
- Keep the ones you want. Tap a card to keep it, then copy or download your list.
Random things, items, and objects: what to do with them
Drawing prompts
Sketch one random item a day, or draw three objects in one scene.
Scavenger hunts
Generate 10 everyday items and race to find them around the house or classroom.
Writing practice
Describe the object without naming it, or write a story where it matters to the plot.
Vocabulary and ESL
Show the picture, say the word, and use it in a sentence. Easy objects cover everyday English.
Whether you search for a random thing generator, a random item generator, or a random object generator, it is the same idea: a random everyday thing, with a picture so you know exactly what it is.
