About these tools
Classroom-friendly random tools: call on students without repeats, build presentation orders and print a seating chart.
Every tool listed here runs entirely in your browser. Draws are made with the Web Crypto API before any animation begins, your lists are never uploaded, and weighted draws are always labelled as weighted with the exact percentages shown. There is no account to create and nothing to install.
If you are not sure which tool fits, the guide to how random selection works explains the differences between picking one name, drawing several without repeats, and shuffling a whole list into an order. If you want the pick to happen visibly, in front of other people, use the main wheel instead.

- Team and Group Tools Turn one roster into balanced teams, discussion groups, seating charts or a running order.

- Random Generators Numbers, dice, letters, colors, dates and passwords generated locally in your browser.
