Hmm, put all the names into a hat and draw them out one by one. The first name gives to the second name, the second name gives to the third name, and so on. The last name drawn gives to the first name.

If there are kids, you can separate them into their own section and do the same.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Jsu...I'm such a dunce sometimes!!!!
(make that most of the time:^)

No problem, glad I could be of some assistance. lol I do alot of these things. I own a mommy message board and we do swaps quite often so I had to find a way to do an unbias list.

If you haven't drawn yet, and want to be sure no one can acuse you of 'cheating'....have a neighbor or friend do the drawing for you. When I need to draw names for 'whatever' at work, I get someone in the bldg that's not associated with the same company. Have fun!

We were successful!!!! The law clerk in my office did the drawing, so noone can accuse us of cheating!!! I think everyone was pleased with how it came out!!!! Thank you all so much for helping!
