Out of Kilter

Have you ever felt that something is just not right, or that you feel funny for no real reason? Sometimes we call that being “out of kilter”. Out of kilter can also mean unbalanced! This picture shows someone out of kilter. The Wizard is worried that the entire Universe--not just the fellow above--is out of kilter!

Try tilting as far as you can to one side, and you will see why the Wizard Gloman is so worried about being out of kilter! Tip too far and--boom--you fall down! How far could you lean before you fell down and, what did it feel like?

If you ‘kilter’ forward, can you turn it into a roll or somersault? Show us or someone at home.

Send us a picture of what happened when you did the ‘out-of-kilter’ tilt.
