FAQ
Questions about the group generator
Is this really free?
Yes. Generate as many groups as you need — no account required.
How are groups balanced?
Names are randomly shuffled and distributed evenly across the groups. Any remainder is spread one-per-group starting from Group 1.
Can I save my groups for later?
Create a free MentorSparks account and your groups are saved permanently. You can reuse them across activities and edit them anytime.
Can I use these groups with other activities?
Yes. Once you sign up, your saved groups can be assigned to polls, exit tickets, quizzes, and games — giving each team its own join link and results filter.
