How our classroom random group generator works

Our classroom group generator allows you to create groups for classroom activities quickly and efficiently. Simply select a student name list or enter them manually via the settings to get started. If you are teaching the same group of students regularly, we recommend getting an account so that you can save up to three student lists for free.

From the widget settings, you can easily customize your groups by selecting the desired number of students per group and adjusting individual student selections as needed. Whether you're looking for a group generator for teachers, a partner generator for classroom activities, or a grouping students app, this tool makes classroom organization effortless.

Creating and using a group generator in your classroom

Once you've configured your settings, make groups for classroom activities as simple as clicking a button. You'll receive a visual breakdown of how students are allocated into each group, making it easy to ensure a balanced distribution.

Features of our classroom Group maker:

  • Change the group name and color by clicking on the group you wish to edit.
  • Click on the 'rotate groups' button in the bottom right-hand corner to move students who are in group 1 to group 2, and so on depending on how many groups you've created.
  • Auto-generated name feature to quickly assign themed names or numbered lists (1-30) with one click.
  • Are there certain students you would prefer to keep apart? No worries! You can prevent certain combinations in the widget settings.
