Explain to the students how to manage their anger. Instruct them that when they are feeling angry, they should separate themselves from what is making them angry, take time to calm down, think about the situation before acting and look for a solution. Encourage the students to think about the other person's feelings or view of the situation while considering a possible solution.
Provide the students with examples of anger management in different situations. For example, if two students get into a fight on the school playground, one student may choose to go sit by the building to calm down. At home, students may choose to go to their rooms to think things through. Once the anger has passed, the students must find a possible solution to the problem to help prevent it from happening again. This may involve talking to a teacher or parent about the situation, or avoiding the situation or person causing the anger.
Demonstrate how to go through the steps of anger management. Pretend to get angry about something, separate yourself, wait a couple minutes and then tell the students some possible solutions you thought of to prevent getting angry in the future.
Separate the students into pairs or small groups, and have them role play with each other the steps to managing anger. After each pair or group has had the opportunity to role play a couple of different situations, ask for groups to volunteer to role play their situations in front of the class.
