How to play
- Type the names of everyone taking a turn and set how many swings each kid gets.
- Tap Shuffle Order to build a fair, randomized line and see who's up first.
- Tap Log a Swing each time the current kid takes a turn — the tool moves to the next kid automatically once their swings are used up.
- Use Skip to Next Kid if someone isn't ready, and Reshuffle or New Roster to start another round.
Type in the names of every kid taking a swing and choose how many turns each one gets, then tap Shuffle Order to build a fair, randomized line. The big banner at the top always shows who's up and which swing number they're on, so there's no argument about whose turn it is. Tap Log a Swing each time a kid takes their turn, and the tool automatically moves to the next person once someone finishes their allotted swings — skipping straight past anyone who's already used them up. If a kid isn't around for their turn, Skip to Next Kid moves the line along without logging a swing. When the whole roster has had their equal turns, a celebration marks the end of the round, and you can reshuffle the same group or start over with a new list.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the turn order decided?
- The order is shuffled using a fair random shuffle each time you start or reshuffle, so no kid is systematically first or last across different rounds.
- What happens when a kid finishes their swings?
- The tool automatically skips ahead to the next kid who still has swings remaining, so nobody accidentally gets an extra turn or is left waiting after their turns are done.
- Can I give some kids more swings than others?
- The swings-per-kid setting applies equally to everyone in the current round, which keeps things fair and easy for a group of mixed ages to referee themselves.
