STUDENT ACTIVITIES

1. Teach children how to relax and calm down with relaxation exercises.

Breathing Deeply: Have the kids take a deep breath while counting to five. Then as you count back to one, have them slowly release the air.

Muscle Relaxing: Have the kids pretend to become frozen by slowly tightening each part of their bodies until they are "frozen solid". Then, let them "thaw" by relaxing each part of their bodies and allowing their anger to melt away.

Combined Breathing and Muscle Relaxing: Have the kids pretend they are balloons filling up with air. As you count to five, they slowly breath in and fill up their balloons, stretching and tightening their muscles. Have them hold it a few seconds. Then, as you count back to one again, have them release the air and relax their muscles as though their balloon is deflating.


2. Have students identify ways in which they handle their anger in positive ways. List these on a chart. Post the chart in the classroom and refer to it when situations arise.

3. Role play situations that create anger. Younger children may use puppets. Have students show how they would react in each situation. Discuss how controlling their anger can change the situation and role play it again. Examples of some situations are:

a) Your friend teases you about your hairstyle.

b) You find out that your best friend has gone roller skating with someone else and didn't invite you.

c) Your sister or brother borrows your favorite sweater without asking.

Answer 2

Controlling anger is difficult my advice would be to...
1) Find out the real truth behind the situation (it could be internal or having to do with something at home that is bothering them)
2) After finding out what the truth is, try to dissect it up, to see where the problem originated from the start of the argument
3) After finding out about the base of the problem suggest ideas that could benefit both sides of the party

E.G. Bobby and Suzy are fighting about a pencil that they found. Bobby and Suzy are both having trouble at home their brothers and sisters pick on them constantly, they want control when they can have it, which is a place where they feel dominant. You find out that the pencil was sought out by both students who claimed it was theirs. You suggest to put it in a cup on the teacher's desk, and say this cup is only for people who need pencils, to borrow and give back as soon as they are finished with it. You could also suggest that they see the school counselor to help them resolve their at home problem. The counselor may need to get in touch with the parents to solve the problem at home.

If you teach children to get rid of their differences and also try to be reasonable it may help.
