Free board tool

Random Team Generator

Split your class into random teams or groups in one click. Free random group maker for teachers: choose the number of teams or students per team.

How to make random teams

Paste your class list, choose how many teams you want (or how many students per team) and press Make teams. Press it again to reshuffle. Leftover students are spread evenly so team sizes never differ by more than one.

Why random teams work

Random groups feel fair to students, mix up friend groups and save you from picking captains. Use them for review games like Trashketball and Jeopardy, team-building challenges and group projects.
