Classroom Seating Chart Generator
A classroom seating chart generator with four desk layouts, drag-and-drop seats, and one-click random assignment for the whole class.
Add students to assign seats
Drag students to seats or click assigned seats to remove
This free classroom seating chart generator gives you a room to work with instead of a blank page. Pick one of four layouts — traditional rows, group tables, a U-shape with the middle left open, or partner pairs — add your class list, then either drag students into seats or let the tool assign every seat at random. Dragging one student to a different desk leaves everyone else exactly where they are, so you can fix the two placements that actually matter without rebuilding the chart. Your class list and the current chart are kept in this browser, and the finished plan downloads as a text file.

When a seating plan is worth the ten minutes
The start of a new term
A chart you can consult by name is the fastest way to learn thirty new faces.
Separating off-task pairs
Drag two students apart and the other twenty-eight stay exactly where they already are.
Cover and supply lessons
A downloaded chart lets someone who has never met the class address students by name.
Tests and exams
Traditional rows spaces students out for individual work with no negotiation on the day.
Group work days
Switch to group tables so the room already matches the way the lesson is meant to run.
Whole-class discussion
The U-shape leaves the middle open so every student can see everyone who is speaking.
Paired talk and partner work
Partner pairs sets the room up for turn-and-talk; the group generator handles bigger teams.

What classroom layouts are available?
Four: traditional rows, group tables, a U-shape with the middle left open, and partner pairs. Choosing a layout lays out the seats for you, and you decide who sits where.
Can I randomly assign seats?
Yes. Click the randomize button to drop every student into a random seat, then drag anyone who needs moving — the rest of the chart stays where it is.
Is my seating chart saved?
Your class list and current chart are saved in your browser, so they are still there when you come back on the same device. Choosing a different layout starts the seats fresh.
