Random Group Generator

How to split a class into random groups

Splitting a class into groups by hand is slow and never feels fair — someone always suspects the teacher played favorites. A random group generator removes the argument: it shuffles the names properly and deals them out into balanced teams, so every split is defensible and takes seconds.

1. Paste your names. Put one name per line in the box — copy them straight from a spreadsheet or attendance list.
2. Choose your split. Pick Number of groups (e.g. 4 groups for four stations) or Groups of size (e.g. groups of 3 for lab partners), then enter the number.
3. Generate. The names are shuffled and dealt into balanced groups — sizes differ by at most one, with extras spread across the first groups.
4. Reshuffle, copy, or print. Don't like the deal? Hit Shuffle again. Use Copy results to paste groups into a slide or chat, or Print for a paper list.

Fair groups, every time

The shuffle uses your browser's built-in randomness, and the dealing step guarantees no name appears twice and no name is left out. If you ask for more groups than you have names, the tool caps the groups at one per person and tells you — it never invents empty teams.
