Free classroom tool
Random group maker
Split your class into random groups by number of groups or by group size. Shuffle again as many times as you like.
Add your names above, then press Make groups.
Make a new set of groups
Friendship groups and the same few pairings can limit what pupils get from group work. A random shuffle mixes the room quickly, and you can press Make groups again for a different split if a particular combination won't work.
Two ways to split the class
Choose Number of groups if you have a fixed set of tables or roles (say, six groups). Choose Group size if you want pairs, threes or fours and don't mind how many groups that makes. Any left-over pupils are spread across the groups so no one is on their own.
Copy it onto the board
Use Copy as text to paste the groups into a slide, a document or a message. Nothing is stored on a server, and your list stays in your browser.
How are leftover pupils handled?
They are shared out one at a time, so group sizes never differ by more than one.
Can I make pairs?
Yes. Choose Group size and set it to 2.
Is the class list kept private?
Yes. It never leaves your browser unless you copy it yourself.
