Random Order Generator

Put the whole class into a random order for presentations, show-and-tell, reading aloud or turns at the board. One press shuffles your saved class list into a numbered sequence that everyone can see at once, so there is no arguing about who goes next and no need to pick names one by one.

How to use it

  1. Save your class list once. It is shared with every tool on this site.
  2. Press Shuffle order or the spacebar. The class appears as a numbered list.
  3. Press again for a different order, or F to show it full screen while students present.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the order generator and the student picker?

The picker reveals one name at a time and keeps the rest hidden, which is good for questions. The order generator shows the whole sequence up front, which is better for presentations where students want to know when their turn is.

Is the shuffle truly random?

Yes. It uses a Fisher-Yates shuffle, the standard algorithm for an unbiased random permutation, so every possible order is equally likely.

Can I save the generated order?

The order stays on screen until you shuffle again or leave the page. To keep it, take a screenshot or copy the names into your notes.
