3 Simple Random Name Selectors for the Classroom
Sometimes you just need a simple way of picking students at random. No bells and whistles, no sound effects, no animations… just a quick way to randomly pick a name. Here are three basic random name generators.
Random Name Picker

It’s as simple as: 1) Paste or type a list of names. 2) Click “Pick a Random Name. 3) The random name appears.

Entering names is a little tricker on this one as it seemed to work better with a space between each line when copying and pasting. The Random Student Selector won’t select students twice in a row. The other impressive feature is that each time a name is selected it’s less likely to be picked again.

Random Chooser features the simplicity of Random Name Picker, and it does not feature advertisements like the two sites above.
