Anger Words

• Help your students learn how to express their anger in words. During circle time, talk to your students about words they can use when they are angry, such as "I'm mad," or "I feel angry," recommends Michele Borba, Parents Magazine. Ask students to role play, so that they can practice using words to express anger.
  
  

Relaxation Techniques

• Teach children healthy ways to calm down when they are angry. Ask your students about how they feel when they are angry, focusing on physical effects. Tell your preschoolers that there are good ways to calm down when they are angry, such as slow breathing. Practice breathing in and out slowly to relax. Encourage them to count to 10 as they breathe. Engage in fun physical activities, like jumping up and down, running or doing jumping jacks or punching a pillow to release energy. Encourage preschoolers to find an activity to calm themselves whenever they are angry.
  
  

Masks

• Use masks to help your preschool students express anger, recommends Preschool Rock. During circle time, practice making angry faces. Pass around a hand mirror so that students can see how their face changes when they are angry. Next, give each child a paper plate. Provide markers, crayons, glue and yarn. Encourage each child to draw their angry face on the plate. If desired, cut holes for eyes and mouth, and add yarn for hair. Glue a tongue depressor on the back of each plate to make a handle. Practice using the masks to convey anger.
  
  

Dramatic Play

• In the dramatic play area, provide students with dolls so that they can role play the proper ways to deal with anger. Encourage the children to help their dolls choose positive ways to deal with their anger, such as slow breathing, using angry words to express feelings or going for a walk. Ask the preschoolers questions about the things that makes their dolls mad, and why. Let students use the masks they made for the dolls.
