Lesson on Anger Management
This lesson on anger management helps students understand the connection between the Angry Birds Game real life scenarios.
The blue birds teach us that when we handle anger ineffectively our anger can spreak to others. When we get mad or upset at someone, they in return get even more upset.
The red bird teaches us not to be a bully bird by picking on other birds repeatedly over and over.
The black bird or the bomb bird teaches us that if we don't handle our anger well we can explode!
The slingshot teaches us how to direct our anger appropriately.
The white bird throws eggs in the game just like we shouldn't throw objects if we get upset.
The pig teaches us that our anger can trigger. Just like in the game when the pigs steal from the birds the birds in return get angry just like our actions can.
