Gather a group of players and talk to them about anger: 

  • What is it? 
  • What is the colour of anger? 
  • When do we feel angry? 
  • How do we express ourselves when we are angry? 
  • What ways do we have to calm ourselves down? 
  • Is it easy?

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.
