Discuss the feeling of anger as a class. Here are some prompts to start the conversation:

  • What do you look like when you feel angry?
  • What are some things that make you feel angry? Document children’s ideas (with words or pictures) for all to see.
  • What can you do when you are angry? Document children’s ideas. For example: stomping, pushing the wall, hitting a pillow, or using words or sounds to share how you feel.
  • Practice using some “angry words” together. For example, “I don’t like that!” or “GRRR!”
  • What helps you to feel better and calm down when you are angry? Document children’s ideas. For example, taking a deep breath, counting, or a hug!
