A seesaw is a simple playground equipment that consists of a long board balanced on a central pivot point, called a fulcrum. When one end of the board is pushed down, the other end rises, allowing two people to play together. Seesaws are often made of wood or metal and can be found in parks and schoolyards. Seesaws help children develop balance and coordination while having fun. They can also encourage social interaction, as players must work together to maintain the seesaw's motion. Safety features, such as soft ground surfaces and rounded edges, are often included to prevent injuries during play.
