Random Team Generator for Teachers

Paste your class list, pick how many teams (or how many students per team) and get fair random groups instantly. Big, projector-friendly names, a shuffle animation students enjoy, and a saved list so you can regroup the same class next lesson.

Fair groups in three seconds

1. Paste or type your student names, one per line.

2. Choose the number of teams, or how many students each team should have.

3. Hit shuffle — teams appear with a short animation so the result feels fair to students.

Made for the classroom board

Names scale to fill the screen so students at the back can read their team. Present mode hides the controls for a clean projection; Focus mode keeps them handy on your laptop or phone.

Reuse your class lists

Save a class once and regroup it any time — for group work, debate teams, station rotations, PE, or quiz-game teams that feed straight into our classroom games.

Frequently asked questions

Is the team generator free?

Yes, completely free with no limits and no signup required to use it.

Can I make teams of a fixed size?

Yes — choose "students per team" and the generator works out how many teams you need, distributing any remainder evenly.

Can I stop the same students being grouped together?

Reshuffle until you are happy with the result, or split the awkward pair into separate lists and generate twice.

Do students need accounts?

No. You run it on your own screen or the board — students never log in.
