The Anger Solution Game

The Anger Solution Game helps children learn to control their behavior responses to anger. As players make their way around the board, they are faced with a series of decisions and learn to choose the success route over the victim cycle. The anger solution game is a unique therapeutic tool. The game includes a game board, 100 tokens, 1 solution spinner, 1 6-sided die, 24 empowerment cards, 58 question cards, and 40 solution cards. From the Rules: This game is intended to be played with adult supervision. Any empathetic adult (parent, teacher, counselor, etc.) can assist children to effectively identify, express, and manage their anger. Although anger is a natural emotion in response to conflict situations, it can jeopardize relationships if it is not communicated effectively and appropriately. Typically, people react inappropriately to anger in one of two ways. The first is by overreacting to conflict situations by becoming verbally and/or physically explosive to others after allowing anger to build up. Secondly, a person may react to anger by internalizing their frustration with a conflict situation which often results in physiological or emotional symptoms of stress. The Anger Solution Game was developed through the integration of a psycho-educational approach with cognitive behavioral intervention modality. The main goal is to help the client to understand that he/she has control over behavioral responses to anger and that he/she can make choices which can result in positive solutions.
