This therapeutic board game, developed specifically for use by psychologists, counselors, therapists, and educators, teaches children how to respond to anger in healthy, productive ways. The revised second edition features updated game cards presenting situations that involve behavior, responsibility, sibling rivalry, conflict, and relationships with peers, parents and teachers. Each situation has potential to provoke anger. Players must choose, from three options, the best response in the particular circumstances described. A great tool to use with students with behavior problems, language delays and social skill concerns as well.

Angry Animals 2 encourages students to:

• Think about what makes them angry
• Explore their options in responding to anger
• Use a “time-out” when necessary
• Engage in creative problem-solving
• Redirect aggression
• Communicate effectively with peers and adults

As they move around the game board, children learn that anger is a natural feeling, neither good nor bad. They discover that the way someone expresses their anger is what really matters.

Here's a sample question: Your mom tells you to wash the dishes, but you don't feel like it.

You…

1. Go to your bedroom and lock the door.
2. Ask your mom if you can wait 30 minutes and then do the dishes
3. Tell your mom that doing the dishes is her job

Have your student say which answer they think is the best choice, and then flip over the card and see if they are correct. If the student picks a choice that is not so good, they will be sent to the Time-Out Tent and have to draw an anger exercise card.

Ages 5 - 10.
