How do I split a list of names into random groups?
Paste the names, one per line. Choose the number of groups, or the number of people per group, and press Make the groups. The sizes differ by one at most. Shuffle again for a new split, or present the groups on a projector.
How the random group generator works
- Paste or type the names, one per line. A list from a spreadsheet column pastes as it is.
- Choose the number of groups, or the number of people per group.
- Press Make the groups. Press Shuffle again for a new split of the same names.
- Press Present to show the groups on a projector, Copy as text to paste them into a chat, or Copy link to share them.
How the groups stay fair
The names are shuffled, then dealt one by one to each group in turn, like cards. So two groups never differ by more than one person. 10 names in 3 groups make groups of 4, 3, and 3, never 5, 4, and 1.
With people per group, no group gets more people than you asked for. 10 names in groups of 4 make 3 groups: 4, 3, and 3. Every shuffle is random: the same person can land with the same partner twice, as with dice.
Ideas for the groups
Make teams for charades or a drawing game, pairs for a class project, or tables for a party. For a writing warm-up in groups, give each group words from the random word generator.
Pertanyaan
Is the split really fair?
Yes. The names are shuffled at random, then dealt to each group in turn. Two groups never differ by more than one person.
Where do the names go?
Nowhere but your browser and the link you share. A link holds the names, so only share it with the people in the groups.
How many names can I add?
Up to 60 names, up to 24 letters each, and up to 30 groups.
Can the groups have names?
Yes. Choose Animal names to get teams such as the Otters and the Foxes, instead of Group 1 and Group 2.
Is the random group generator free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit. Copy the link to share the groups.
