- What ways do we have to calm ourselves down?
- Is it easy?

2
Let the players express themselves (by answering the questions, making sounds, telling their own stories about anger).

4
Tell them that at the end of this activity, you will all have a tool to deal with your anger when you need it.

At the end, add water (glycerin and glue) and close the bottle tightly.
