About this tool

A random group generator built for the classroom. Paste in your class list, choose either the size of each group or how many groups you want, and ClassCarnival shuffles everyone fairly and deals the names out into groups on screen — one card at a time, so the whole class can watch their team come together.

When the numbers don't divide evenly, the extra students are spread across groups so no group is ever more than one person bigger than another, and nobody gets left on their own. Hit Shuffle Again for a completely new mix, or Copy Groups to paste the list into a document, a class chat, or your lesson notes.

Use it for pair work, project teams, discussion circles, stations, or splitting the class into teams for a quiz game — it pairs perfectly with the Team Race. Team names and mascots are on by default (turn them off for plain numbered groups), “One at a time” mode lets you reveal each student with a drumroll, and use fullscreen mode to put the groups up on your projector. No sign-up needed, and any class size works.
