Build Teams - Ene Mene Miste
Fair teams in 10 seconds
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: the jigsaw! One tap turns your teams into expert groups – one person from each team, just like the classic classroom method.
Names in, the box rattles, fair teams out.
Ene Mene Miste turns a list of names into random, balanced teams in under ten seconds – and it feels like counting out on the playground, not like configuring admin software.
THREE ACTIONS, DONE
Enter names, pick how many teams, shuffle. Paste a whole class list at once – the app works out whether you used lines or commas.
THE PREVIEW KEEPS ITS PROMISE
“12 people → 4 teams: 3 · 3 · 3 · 3” appears before you shuffle – and that is exactly what you get. Where your rules make it mathematically impossible, the app says so beforehand instead of surprising you afterwards.
EVERYTHING LIVES ON THE PERSON
No settings graveyard. Tap a name to open what concerns them:
• Skill in three levels for balanced teams
• Always together with … (siblings, shy children)
• Better apart from … (the pair that never stops chatting)
• Sitting out – stays on the list, but isn't assigned
• Mixed teams spreads boys and girls evenly
DISCRETION BY DEFAULT
Skill ratings are sensitive, and this app often runs on a projector in front of the whole class. So the stars appear only in the private per-person view – never on the overview, never on the team cards, never when sharing. Nobody can read off that they got “only one star”.
JIGSAW GROUPS IN ONE TAP
One tap on the puzzle turns your teams into expert groups – each with exactly one person from every team, just like the classic jigsaw classroom method. Small icons show who comes from where; tap again and the teams are back.
WHO GOES FIRST?
The counting-out game from childhood, as a feature: the word hops from name to name, and whoever the last word lands on is out. Twenty genuine counting rhymes from five countries, all spoken aloud. Some ask your age halfway through and count on that many steps.
FIVE LANGUAGES, EACH WITH ITS OWN RHYMES
English, German, French, Spanish and Chinese – not merely translated, but with the rhymes children in each country actually chant. Team names are localised too.
THE RESULT IS YOURS
Something off? Tap a person, move them to another team. The algorithm suggests, you decide.
SHARE WITHOUT RETYPING
As text into the class chat, through the share sheet, or as a designed image for the notice board.
NO INTERNET, NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS
The app needs no network. It collects nothing, sends nothing and shows no advertising – it runs in front of children, after all. Names and lists stay on your device.
For school, sports, workshops, birthday parties and game nights.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New in 1.1: the jigsaw!
One tap on the result turns your teams into expert groups – one person from each team, just like the classic classroom method. Tap again to bring the teams back. Small icons show who comes from which team.
Also:
• Shuffling now avoids putting the same people together again and again.
• “Clear” asks before your list disappears.
