Name Picker

Pick a name fairly, or split the class into even groups. Everyone gets a turn before anyone goes twice, and your class list stays in your browser — we never see it.

Your class

One name per line, or separated by commas. Up to 60.

For a board that visitors, a camera or parents' evening can see. You still see who is who.

Your class stays in this browser. It is saved on this device only — there is no account, no sync and no request to any server, so we never see it and there is nothing for us to lose. Clear class removes it completely.

Using it in class

Everyone gets a turn

This is on by default, and it is the setting that matters. A picker that can land on the same child three times running is a picker the class stops believing in. Here a name is set aside once it has been picked, until the round starts again.

Groups that are actually even

22 children into 4 groups gives 6, 6, 5, 5 — not 5, 5, 5, 7. You can name two children who should not work together, lock a group you are happy with and reshuffle the rest.

Your class stays yours

The names are saved in this browser and nowhere else. There is no account, no sync and no request to any server — so there is nothing for us to see, lose or sell. Clear class removes them completely, and Initials only keeps a board that visitors can see to A.S. rather than a full name.
