What a group generator does
A group generator takes a list of names and splits it into random groups. You paste your list, choose either the number of groups or the size per group, and it deals everyone out fairly in one click – no drawing lots, no arguments about who ends up with whom.
Toolra's group generator runs in your browser and reshuffles as often as you like, so you always get a fresh, unbiased split.
By number of groups or group size
- Set a fixed number of groups – names are spread evenly across them.
- Or set a group size – the tool makes as many groups as needed.
- Reshuffle to get a completely new arrangement.
Useful in the classroom
- Split a class into project or discussion groups in seconds.
- Mix students up so the same friends do not always cluster together.
- Form fair teams for games and activities.
- Just need to pick one person? Use the random name picker or the spinning wheel.
Name lists stay on your device
Names are processed only on your device and never sent to a server, so student data stays with you.
