    Random group generator

    The random group generator splits every name into evenly sized random groups. Paste a roster, choose the number of groups or a target group size, then generate a fresh set of teams.

    Make groups for a class, team, or activity

    Classes and workshops

    Split students or attendees for projects, discussions, stations, and breakout activities.

    Games and practice

    Make random teams for a game, practice, event, or meeting without leaving anyone out.

    How it works

    1. Add every name

      Edit the starter list, paste one name per line, or import a CSV.

    2. Choose the split

      Set the group count, or switch to a target size. The preview shows the exact split before you generate.

    3. Use the groups

      Copy or download the result, share the setup, or show the colorful boards full screen.

    Random group generator questions

    How the list is divided and what the result means.

    What if the names do not divide evenly?

    Everyone stays in a group, and sizes differ by no more than one. A target size of 5 with 12 names makes three balanced groups of 4.

    Can I use the random team generator to make pairs?

    Yes. Choose Size and set the target to 2. With an odd number of names, one group will have three people instead of leaving one person alone.

    Does it balance skill levels?

    No. This group randomizer balances the number of people, not skills or other traits. Regenerate the groups or make any skill-based changes yourself.

    Can I paste a whole roster at once?

    Yes. Add multiple accepts one name per line, and CSV import supports a roster of up to 250 names to split into groups.

    Can I show the groups on a TV?

    Yes. Full screen enlarges the boards. Press Space to make new groups and Esc to exit.

    Need one shuffled order instead of teams? Shuffle the full list with the list randomizer.

    Drawing names for a gift exchange instead of splitting teams? Use the secret santa generator.

    Picking one winner rather than making teams? Spin your names on the wheel and let it land on one person.

    Looking for a random NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL franchise instead of teams of people? Try the random NFL team generator, random NBA team generator, random MLB team generator, or random NHL team generator.

    Groups made, and now each one needs a topic? Deal them a place with the random country generator or the random state generator.
