Random Team Generator

The Team Generator splits a list of names into random, even teams in one click. Paste the names, choose how many teams you need, and tap Generate. Shuffle again if you want a new mix. Use it for PE, classrooms, offices and game nights. It is free.

What the team generator does

Picking teams by hand takes time and can leave someone feeling picked last. This random team generator splits any list of names into the number of groups you choose, keeping team sizes as even as possible. It's great for class projects, pickup games, office icebreakers, trivia nights and breakout rooms.

How to use it in 3 steps

  1. Paste or type names, one per line.
  2. Choose how many teams you need.
  3. Press Generate, then copy the teams to share them.

Tips

  • For balanced skill levels, generate a few times and pick the split that looks fairest.
  • Use the classroom name picker afterward to choose which team goes first.
  • Number the teams on a whiteboard so groups can find each other fast.
