Field day station rotation schedules for company picnics and family reunions
Built for the person organizing the event — not the players. Enter your team count and station names, and print a complete station rotation: a round-by-station master chart for the organizer's clipboard, and a card for every station lead showing exactly which team arrives each round. Every team visits a different station every round, with no repeats, for any mix of team and station counts. Free, no account, and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type leaves this page.
Set up your rotation
Station names
These print on the master chart and on each station lead's card. Prefilled with example activities — replace them with your own.
Team names (optional)
Leave any team blank to use its number instead (Team #1, Team #2…).

Event: ______________________ Start time: ____________
Station lead cards
One card per station — hand one to each station lead before the event starts. Every round's arriving team(s) are listed with the elapsed-time window, so a station lead never needs the master chart to know who's coming next. A station with a great many teams sharing it can occasionally push a card onto a labeled “part 2” continuation card instead of shrinking to fit.
Built for the organizer's back office, not a live display
You're the organizer, this is your tool. Field day, company picnic, and family reunion stations are often staffed by volunteers who need a printed sheet in hand, not a screen — this generates a company picnic activity rotation printable schedule you print before the event and hand out, not a live digital display someone has to keep checking. Kids and coworkers taking part in the stations are the event's participants; the person using this tool is the adult running the show.
Any team count, any station count. Enter exactly how many teams and how many stations you have — they're independent numbers, and they're often not equal. With more teams than stations, this generator spreads teams across stations evenly and rotates who shares a station round to round, printed and explained on the chart. With more stations than teams, it honestly shows which stations sit idle each round rather than pretending every station is always staffed.
No repeats, guaranteed by construction. Every team visits a different station every round for as many rounds as you schedule — this isn't a best-effort search that sometimes falls short the way a family reunion station rotation chart built by hand can; it's guaranteed for any team and station count this generator supports.
Field day station rotations, quickly
How does a field day station rotation schedule work?
Each round, every team is assigned to one station. The master chart shows, round by round, which team (or teams) are at each station; the elapsed-time window for each round comes from the minutes-per-rotation you set. Between rounds, teams move to their next assigned station — no live scoring or outcome tracking, this is purely a schedule.
What happens when there are more teams than stations, or more stations than teams?
With more teams than stations, more than one team shares a station in the same round — spread as evenly as possible, and which station carries the extra team rotates round to round rather than always landing on the same one. With more stations than teams, the surplus stations sit idle for that round, and which ones rotates too. Both cases are stated plainly in the summary above the chart, computed from your actual numbers.
Will any team ever repeat a station?
No. Every team visits a different station every scheduled round — this is guaranteed by how the rotation is built, for any team count from 2 to 20 and any station count from 2 to 12, not a best-effort search that can fall short.
How many rounds should we schedule?
By default, rounds equal your station count, so every team gets to every station once — the fullest rotation this generator can build. If your event is shorter, lower the rounds and every team still visits that many different stations with no repeats, just not the complete set.
Is this a live classroom display, like a digital timer board?
No — this generator produces a printed schedule for an adult organizer to hand to station leads before the event starts, not a live on-screen display someone checks during the event. It's built specifically for field day, company picnic, and family reunion events.
Does this track scores or decide a winner?
No. This is a schedule and rotation generator only — it decides which team is at which station and when, nothing about how any station's activity is scored or won.
