Objectives: The student will become aware of appropriate ways to handle angry feelings.
Materials Needed: balloon
Directions:
1. Help the children share times when they have felt anger in the past.
2. Ask what would happen to our bodies if we didn't let the anger out - if we pretended not to be mad.
3. Take out a balloon and say, "I am angry!" I am filling my balloon with my anger. Blow it up a little at a time while making these statements.
4. Ask what would happen to the balloon if I didn't let my anger out. Talk about people who keep their anger inside until they "pop."
5. Since we all get mad sometimes, ask the students what things they can do to deal with their angry feelings. Here are some suggestions:
Tell someone you're angry.
Explain why you're angry.
Try to do something about what is making you angry.
Cry
Yell
Jump up and down.
Hit a pillow or punching bag.
