What Is a Random Partner Generator?
The name says it all ... or maybe not! A random partner generator is a simple tool teachers can use to randomly assign partners in the classroom.
The goal is to help you create pairings and groups that help students engage with new classmates and get fresh perspectives while also putting an end to the inevitable fighting over who gets to work with who that can occur when students pick their own partners.
Build students' teamwork skills, minimize conflict and break down barriers between your students, encouraging kids to make new connections.
