Welcome to the Texas Teeter Totter, the most extreme playground game that somehow mixes childhood fun with full-on rodeo danger. Only in Texas, y’all.


It’s not your average playground showdown. Forget monkey bars and slides—this is a game where quick reflexes and nerves of steel are the only things standing between you and a very unhappy bull.  

 

 


The goal? Two brave (or slightly crazy) kids hop onto either side of a fulcrum and try to out-jump each other while dodging the bull charging straight at them. It’s not just a game of balance, it’s survival—Texas style.

The bull doesn’t play by the rules, though. It’s not sitting there waiting for you to perfectly time your jumps. It’s charging full speed, and every second on that teeter-totter is a gamble.

One wrong move, and you could be flying through the air or making an up-close-and-personal impression of a rodeo clown. The trick is to launch yourself just as the bull makes its move, but not too soon—or you might find yourself landing right in its path. No pressure!
