Balance Beams for Schoolage children should be no more than how many inches high?

  1. 10 inches

  2. 12 inches

  3. 14 inches

  4. 16 inches

The correct answer is: 16 inches

According to experts, balance beams for school-age children should be no more than 16 inches high. This is because at this age, children are still developing their coordination and balance skills, and higher beams may pose a safety risk. Option A and B (10 to 12 inches) may be too low and not challenging enough for older children, while option C (14 inches) may still be too high and risky for this age group. Therefore, option D (16 inches) is the best balance between challenge and safety for school-age children.
