One name per line

Fair random teams without the arguments

Picking teams by hand takes time and someone always ends up feeling left out. The random team generator shuffles your list with a cryptographically secure generator and deals the names into teams like cards, so team sizes never differ by more than one person.

Choose either the number of teams you want or the number of people per team. Add fun team names for extra energy, then copy the result into a chat or print it for the classroom wall.

How to use

  1. Paste the names – one per line.
  2. Choose Number of teams or People per team and enter the number.
  3. Optional: turn on fun team names.
  4. Press Make teams. Press it again for a new random split.
  5. Copy, print or show the teams in fullscreen.

Ideas for using it

  • Physical education and sports. split a class into fair sides for football, basketball or relay races.
  • Group projects. create mixed groups so students work with new classmates.
  • Workshops and training. form breakout groups in seconds.
  • Game nights and quizzes. make random teams for trivia, charades or escape rooms.

Frequently asked questions

Are the teams really random?

Yes. The list is shuffled with a Fisher–Yates shuffle powered by the Web Crypto API, so every arrangement is equally likely.

What happens if the names don’t divide evenly?

Names are dealt one by one into the teams, so some teams get one extra member. Sizes never differ by more than one.

Can I set the team size instead of the number of teams?

Yes. Choose “People per team” and the generator works out how many teams are needed.

Can I balance teams by skill?

Not automatically. A simple trick: generate teams separately for strong and less experienced players and combine them.
