A group of children describe what they do when they feel angry to help them calm down. Some of the children are able to describe how their anger feels. A role-play illustrates that there are alternatives to letting anger take over and shows how a ‘traffic lights’ system can help to think through fiery moments.

Students could be asked to describe how they feel when they are angry. What do they think? What does their face look like? They could use a paper plate to create an angry face and share experiences of feeling angry in a circle time activity. Students could then explore the calming techniques described in this clip and consider which one they think might work for them. They could create their own prompt poster which reads ’When I feel angry I will…’ and include a picture of them using this technique.
