How to Create Random Student Teams Instantly: A Teacher's Guide

Creating student groups can be surprisingly time-consuming. Who sits with whom? Did someone get picked twice last time? Is it really fair? That's why we built the Random Team Generator - a simple, fast, and flexible tool made just for moments like these. Whether you're planning group projects, classroom activities, or quick team games, this tool makes it all easier (and fun!).

Why Teachers Love the Random Team Generator

Here's what makes our team maker ideal for educators:

• ✅ No more manual sorting
• ✅ Totally random, totally fair
• ✅ Quick uploads from Excel or CSV
• ✅ Share-ready formats (PDF, PNG, text)
• ✅ Custom team names & auto-representatives

Let’s walk through how to use it - step by step.

Step 1: Add Your Student List

There are three simple ways to enter your class names:

✍️ Option 1: Just Type

Write student names directly into the text box, separated by commas. Example:
Liam, Noah, Emma, Olivia, Ava, William

📄 Option 2: Upload Excel or CSV

Already have a list in a spreadsheet? Perfect!

1. Upload your '.xlsx' or '.csv' file
2. Select the column containing student names
3. Done! The tool automatically imports them

This is great for larger classrooms or reusing past class lists.

Step 2: Choose Your Settings

Now it’s time to decide how the teams should be formed.

🔢 Number of Teams

Set how many teams you want. The tool handles the rest — evenly and randomly.

👩‍🏫 Auto-select Representatives

Turn on this option to automatically assign a team leader or representative for each group. Perfect for discussions, presentations, or assigning responsibilities.

🏷️ Custom Team Names

Want something more fun than "Team 1", "Team 2"? You can name each group anything you like — think "The Innovators", "Math Magicians", or "Team Rocket"!

Step 3: Click “Form Teams”

Once everything looks good, hit the Form Teams button. ✨ In seconds, your students are grouped into random, balanced teams. It’s that easy. You’ll see a clear visual layout of each team and their members.
