Discuss the feeling of anger with the class. Here are some question prompts to get the discussion started: 

  • What does it feel like to be angry?
  • How does anger make our bodies feel? (Discuss how our bodies feel when angry — tight neck, hot face, etc.)
  • What happens when we’re angry?
  • What can help you calm down? Brainstorm ideas and share: Deep breaths, walking away, stomping, using words instead of bodies to show anger.
  • Practice saying: “I am Angry!”
