The Rainbow Wheel Chemical Nomenclature Game
The Rainbow Wheel is a chemical nomenclature game that students play to help them master chemical nomenclature. The game consists of two wheels; one is a cation wheel and the other is an anion wheel. Each wheel has 36 specific ions surrounding the wheel in a pie-shaped format. The word rainbow is used because each wheel contains four rainbows that are very colorful and appealing to the eye.

The objective of the game is to have the student spin a spindle within each wheel, thus randomly selecting a cation and an anion. The student is to then combine the anion and cation in the correct formula and to name it correctly according to nomenclature rules. The answers are placed on a grid with space for ten cations and ten anions. Once the grid is complete, the students will have written formulas and names for 100 compounds.
