Remote Control Anger Control

Set of 4 Card Games

Learning how to control angry feelings is a vital aspect of healthy social and emotional development. The Remote Control Anger Control game is a set of four card games which focus on three essential skills for controlling anger:
  • PAUSE and identify additional feelings.
  • REWIND and learn from past mistakes.
  • FAST FORWARD and think ahead about potential consequences.
The game uses the above remote control symbols to facilitate learning the skills. There are both competitive and cooperative versions for Ages 6-10 (Grades 1-5) and for Ages 11-14 (Grades 6-9). The two age groups have separate decks of cards.

During the game players read brief case studies adapted from the angry behavior of real kids. Players then practice one of three essential skills: they PAUSE and describe an additional feeling that they might have along with anger in the scenario, or they REWIND and describe a time in the past when they have been successful calming their angry feelings, or they FAST FORWARD and describe a typical angry response or behavior that might follow and the probable consequence if the angry behavior is acted on.

All players practice all three skills during the course of the game. In addition to practicing the three skills, players practice planning ahead, learn social skills and exercise frustration tolerance.

Includes two sets of cards one for Ages 6-10 and one for Ages 11-14.
