How to use the Random Team Generator

Split a class roster or participant list into balanced teams in seconds. Choose how many teams you want, cap team size, or set a fixed team size — then shuffle and copy results for worksheets or verbal instructions.

Step by step

Paste names, one per line, into the entries box.
Pick a split mode: number of teams, max per team, or fixed team size.
Click Generate teams. Optionally shuffle again for a different split.
Copy or read out each team. Use Shuffle list first if input order should not influence grouping.

Tips

Enable shuffle-before-split when students entered themselves in a line order.
For odd counts, the generator distributes extras as evenly as possible across teams.

FAQ

Does it balance by skill?: It randomizes names only. For skill-based teams, shuffle manually after grouping or adjust names before generating.
