Shivering is like the body doing a dance to warm up. When it’s cold, your muscles start moving really fast, like when you jump around to get warm, and that helps make heat inside your body so you don’t freeze.
Examples
- A child jumps up and down on the playground when it’s chilly, this helps warm them up.
- You shake your arms quickly after stepping out of a hot shower into cold air.
- Your dog starts to shiver as he waits for you at the door in winter.
