Questions about this tool

What does this tool do?

Paste a list of student names, choose either a group size or a number of groups, and it randomly splits everyone into balanced groups shown as clean cards you can print or project. Re-shuffle any time for a fresh mix.

Is it free and private?

Yes. It's completely free with no sign-up, and everything runs entirely in your browser. Your roster is never uploaded or saved anywhere.

Any tips for using it well?

For partner work, choose a group size of 2 to make pairs. If a group ends up with an odd extra student, the tool spreads leftovers evenly, so just re-shuffle until the balance and personalities feel right.
