Dr Playwell’s Controlling Your Anger Card Game

Dr. Playwell’s Controlling Your Anger Card Game is one of a series of games designed to teach children specific emotional, behavioural, and social skills. There are many children today who have a problem controlling their anger. There are many reasons that children have problems with anger, but no matter what the reason, they have to learn better ways to cope with their problems and express their feelings.

This game is designed to teach children four different anger control skills:

• Anger Buttons Cards teach children to identify the things that make them angry and to think of ways they can change their anger responses.
• Let’s Talk Cards teach encourage children to talk rather than act on their feelings.
• Everybody Wins Cards teach children to find positive solutions to the things that make them angry (players use the Rock-Paper-Scissors Die to decide who will come up with a good answer).
• Anger Thermometer Cards teach children to think of the things that can reduce their anger.
• In addition, there are 12 Cool Down Activity Cards. These cards are not part of the actual game, but rather can be used for giving children “assignments” that will help them think about the importance of control their anger.
