teeter totter
Balanced board ride
A teeter totter is a playground seesaw—a long plank balanced on a central pivot, with a seat at each end.
Children sit on opposite ends and push off the ground alternately, making each other rise and fall: The kids spent an hour on the teeter totter.
Also spelled teeter-totter.
The term is more common in American English than British.
