Name-stick picker

Pick a pupil's name at random from lolly sticks, then move it to DONE

Teachers draw names from a cup of lolly sticks to pick who answers, but the same few sticks keep coming up. This picker has two sides: PICK and DONE. A name moves across once picked, so everyone gets a turn before anyone gets two. It is fair, and children can see that it is.
