How to use the Anger Activity for Children: What is Anger? worksheet

Use this sheet as homework, or as a drawing activity in session. Work page one before page two, since the cue list feeds the drawing prompt What do you look like when you are angry. Ask the child to circle Yelling or Crying only if it is true of them, not because the picture looks familiar. Your clients can take page two home and draw themselves doing one of the five calming options.

Frequently asked questions

What is the definition of anger for kids?

The sheet gives one a child can repeat: anger is a strong feeling you get when something doesn’t seem right or when something upsets you. It adds that everyone feels angry sometimes, which matters for children who have been told the feeling itself is bad behavior.

How would you explain anger to your child?

Name the feeling first, then the signs. This sheet does that in order: a one-sentence definition, then five things anger looks like, such as a face that feels hot or a clenched fist. Explaining it while the child is calm works better than explaining it mid-episode.
