Instructional Ideas

  • Have learners keep a list of their ideas and suggestions for anger management as they play the game; combine these lists into one larger reference sheet that you can later discuss as a whole group

Classroom Considerations

  • This type of game could also be used by learners on the autism spectrum or with special needs, who may struggle with social interactions or handling their emotions

Pros

  • Wide scope of situations provided for discussion
  • Game is easy to understand and execute

Cons

  • None
