Anger and frustration

Practice a helpful move for anger and frustration.

Picture cards: Pause · Ask for space · Try again later

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Model putting down your things and stepping back. Say “I need a minute before I answer.” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
