List Shuffler

The List Shuffler takes any list you paste in and returns it in a random order using a standard shuffle. Teachers can use it to shuffle class rosters, presentation order, station rotations, tasks, or quick classroom draws. You can also show only the top N items from the shuffled result, which makes it a simple way to randomly pick or rank items from a larger pool.

This tool is part of Spinnit's Classroom Random Tools cluster for teachers.

How to Use

1. Paste or type your list into the text area, one item per line.
2. Optionally set "Pick top N items" to show only the first N results after shuffling.
3. Choose whether to show numbered positions on each item.
4. Click Shuffle List to randomise the order instantly.
5. Use Copy shuffled list to grab the results for use elsewhere.
