When you're scared or excited, your body gets a little superhero energy. It sends out a signal that makes your skin go all tingly and cold, like when you’re about to do something big, like speaking in front of the class or winning a game. This happens because your brain thinks it needs to prepare you for action, and chills are just one way your body says, 'Get ready!'
Examples
- You feel chills before your first day at a new school.
- You get goosebumps when you win a big game.
- You feel cold and tingly when you're about to speak in front of the class.
