Common questions
Classroom grouping tool questions.
How does this classroom grouping tool work?
Paste the full list, choose the number of groups or people per group, and select Create groups. GroupSpark shuffles the names and distributes them one by one so group sizes stay as even as possible.
Can I choose groups of three or four students?
Yes. Choose Number of groups for fixed stations or topics, or choose People per group when an activity needs a particular group size.
Can I use this as a student randomizer?
Yes. The class group generator randomizes your full student list into balanced groups. If you need to select one student instead, use the random name picker.
Do you store my names?
No. Your list is handled in your browser. Optional recent-list saving uses only local browser storage.
