Beam roughly 3-4 meters long and no more than 30 cm off the ground

HOW TO PLAY
1

Set the beam securely on the ground so it does not wobble or shift under weight.

2

Step onto one end of the beam and steady yourself before beginning to move forward.

3

Walk heel to toe along the length of the beam, keeping your arms out for balance.

4

If you step off the beam before reaching the end, return to the starting point and try again.

5

Time how long each competitor takes to cross the full beam without stepping off.

6

The competitor who crosses the beam fastest without a fall wins the challenge.
