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.

Practice asking to return to a conversation. Say “I’m frustrated. Can we come back to this after class?” 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.
