Lesson Plan
Anger Volcano Lesson Plan
Students will understand anger as a ‘volcano’ by recognizing early signs of ‘eruptions,’ expressing feelings through creative play, and practicing calming strategies. By the end, the student will label anger intensity and demonstrate at least one calming technique.
Early emotional awareness and self-regulation reduce behavioral outbursts and equip Pre-K learners with lifelong coping skills. This individualized session builds foundational social-emotional competence.
