Each one loads the generator above with those settings applied. You can still change anything afterwards.
How to use it
- Pick a layout. Rows, pods, horseshoe, or place desks yourself.
- Paste your class list. One name per line.
- Assign or randomise. Drag names onto desks, or let it fill and then adjust.
- Print. One page, with an unnamed copy for a substitute if you want one.
Who it helps, and when
A seating chart is the one classroom document a substitute genuinely cannot work without, and the one most likely to be out of date.

Common questions
No. The chart is built in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere. There is no account, so there is nowhere for it to be stored.
Assign seats manually after randomising, or drag a name to a different desk. The randomiser is a starting point rather than the final word.
