         [See Discounts and Free Shipping option at bottom of page]

Here's a deck of cards that teaches children how to manage their anger. Using two internal dialog techniques--Thought Stopping and Self-Talk--kids can stop anger in its tracks. By simply playing cards, they learn to envision a STOP sign whenever their anger is triggered and to replace their angry thoughts with more positive responses. The game consists of a deck of cards containing 37 numbered pairs. Each pair includes a "Situation Card" and a corresponding "Response Card." On each response card, you'll see a big red stop sign--a cue that children will quickly internalize. For 2-4 Players; Grades 1-6.

The Anger Control Game teaches children the skills they need for effective anger control. It is particularly helpful in treating conduct-disordered children or those with temper control problems. Based on cognitive-behavioral principles, The Anger Control Game focuses on six skills related to anger control: empathizing with the victims; distinguishing between aggressive and nonaggressive acts; using self-statements to diffuse anger; generating and evaluating alternatives to aggression; identifying feelings underlying anger; and evaluating the opinions of others. An Anger Control Inventory (included) helps you determine which skills a child needs to develop. Usually played by the therapist and one or more children, the game can also be played in the classroom. Grades 3-12.
