The Balance Beam on Springs is a playground classic. It appeals hugely to children's eagerness to play and try out challenges in play. The springs make the beam rock slightly, a particularly popular feature in children's play equipment. Children love it when they get immediate response to their movements. The Balance Beam trains the sense of balance immensely, making children use it constantly when passing the rocking beam. This, apart from being a thrill, trains fundamental skills such as regaining balance when about to loose it. Children passing each other on the beam, or rocking it together, train important cooperation, negotiation and turn-taking abilities, that all train their social-emotional skills. These are important for self-confidence and forming friendships.

Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
