Anger Management
Anger is a normal emotion. The job isn't to make it go away, it's to teach kids how to recognize it and respond in ways that don't blow up the rest of their day. These anger management activities give you the structure to do that work.
Every resource here is something I've used in real sessions, with real kids, in real classrooms. Low-prep, ready to teach.
