Drawing my Anger

Worksheet for children to think what they imagine their anger to look like. Young students may sketch angry monsters or dark storm clouds. Older children may draw more abstract manifestations with flames or jagged lines.

Why do you need this?
Drawing their anger allows children to visually represent their emotions, providing a concrete and tangible way to express their feelings. Creating their own visual interpretation of anger allows children to express themselves in a nonverbal manner. This can be especially beneficial for students who may struggle to articulate their emotions verbally.

How and when might you use this?
These worksheets could be used in a variety of ways:
· At the beginning of the school day or during transitions, teachers can have students complete the worksheet to check in with their emotions.
· During PSHE lessons students can draw what their anger would look like as they learn about different emotions and strategies for managing them.
· After conflicts or disagreements among students, teachers can use the worksheet to facilitate discussions about anger and its expression.
· Small group work where the children discuss and reflect on their anger and coping strategies they use.
· During counselling sessions with children who are struggling with anger or emotional regulation.
· Teachers can integrate the worksheets into art activities to combine creative expression with emotional exploration.
