Activities About Feeling Angry
Try birthday candle breathing: everyone takes a deep breath and slowly blows out five drawn candles to shrink the anger. Stomp your feet hard once, then stand perfectly still and calm. Squeeze a pillow as tight as you can, then let it go loose. Then gather at circle time and share your best tips for handling anger.
Fun Facts About Anger
Anger is a strong, normal feeling that everyone has. When we're angry, our heart beats faster, our face often gets warm, and our muscles tense up. Anger tells us that something isn't right or is bothering us. Little tricks like taking deep breaths, counting to ten, or moving our bodies can help. When kids can name their anger, it's easier for them to calm back down.
