Rules: keep apart
One group per line, names separated by commas. They won't sit side by side, or in front of or behind each other.
How we pick: your browser's secure random number generator shuffles the class, then each student takes the next free desk that keeps your rules. Locked seats stay put.
How to use the seating chart generator
- Paste your class list, one name per line.
- Set the rows and desks per row. Tap desks to remove any your room doesn't have.
- Press Seat the class, or Enter. Tap a seated student to lock them in place, then shuffle the rest.
- Add keep-apart rules if you need them, then press Print.
Questions
How do keep-apart rules work?
Type each group on its own line, names separated by commas. Students in the same group won't sit beside each other, or directly in front of or behind each other.
How do I keep one student in the same seat?
With "Lock or unlock its student" chosen, tap their desk. A lock shows on it. Shuffle seats moves everyone else.
My room isn't a neat grid. What can I do?
Choose "Remove or add the desk" and tap desks to take them away, so the grid matches your room. Removed desks are never used.
What does Fill the front first do?
With more desks than students, it seats everyone in the front desks and leaves the empty ones at the back. Turn it off to spread students across the room.
Is the chart kept?
Yes, in this browser, with its locks, removed desks, and rules. Print it, or press Full screen, or F, to show it on the board.
Is my class list sent anywhere?
No. Your lists stay in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
