Why parents love it

Play that builds real skills

Kids think they're playing. They're also training focus, coordination and confidence.

  • Focus

    When focus drifts, the SlackBoard gives instant feedback, guiding kids back on track.

  • Coordination

    From soccer to ballet, the SlackBoard builds coordination and agility.

  • Calm and reset

    Balancing engages the vestibular system, which helps kids calm down and reset.

  • Screen-free fun

    No screens, no batteries. Kids invent their own games, solo or with friends.

How it works

Real slackline training, inches off the floor

A real GIBBON slackline stretches across a curved wooden board. It moves under their feet, so every second on the line trains balance, core strength and body awareness.

Because the board sits just inches off the floor, a wobble is simply a step down, so kids keep trying.

  • Builds coordination and agility for every sport
  • Engages the vestibular system to help kids reset
  • Low profile, so a slip is just a step down
  • Start on two lines with the SlackBoard Plus, then switch to one

  • Unique entertainment / fun!

    Such a unique way to engage my kiddos and keep them entertained and active! As an RN, I understand the importance of limiting screen time and increasing cognitive and physical activity. I'm super stoked to add this to my family's list of entertainment!

  • Great for everyone in the family!

    My husband and I have two kids, age 11 and 13, with ADHD and the board is an option to help them focus and get out their energy. I have used it for stretching and balance work. We love it!

  • My kids love this

    I bought this for my oldest daughter (13) who wants to work on her balance and my other two daughters (11 and 7) have taken it over. They all love it. They play on it a lot while watching tv too. Makes a sedentary activity much more active.

  • Fun Fidgeting Tool

    I got this board for my son. He has ADHD and this has become one of his favorite activities when he needs a break from school work. He'll spend some time balancing and trying different tricks and it helps to reset him. I'm a fan!

Parents ask

Questions, answered

Still deciding? Here are the questions parents ask us most.

Is the SlackBoard safe for kids?

Yes! The low-to-the-ground design makes the SlackBoard great for beginners. Even though balancing on the line is challenging, because your foot is so close to the ground, it’s easy to restart once you lose your balance.

Should I get the SlackBoard or the SlackBoard Plus for my child?

The original SlackBoard has one pre-installed line, perfect for anyone looking to improve stability and coordination. The SlackBoard Plus converts between a two-line and a one-line setup, ideal for kids, rehab, beginners or advanced instability training.

Do kids need lessons to get started?

Yes. The free GIBBON app includes 100+ training videos with programs for kids, adults and seniors. Every video is included with your board, with no subscription required.

Can the whole family use it?

Absolutely. The same board works for kids and adults, and many families use it together for games, stretching and workouts.

Can I use the SlackBoard outdoors?

Yes! The SlackBoard can be used indoors, outdoors, at the beach, in the living room, basically, wherever you would like. Since it is wood, you should avoid getting it wet or leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods of time, but feel free to use it in any location.

How big is the SlackBoard, and how much does it weigh?

The SlackBoard is a minimalist design and perfectly compact.

  • Dimensions: 42" L x 11" W x 5.5" H
  • Weight: 7.5 pounds
Is there any setup required?

Good news! There’s nothing to assemble – your SlackBoard comes fully assembled and ready for use right out of the box. The SlackBoard Plus comes with two lines pre-installed and can easily be converted to a one-line board.
