How to Play The Digital Anger Management Connect Game

Taking turns, players/teams choose a number based on the spot they would like to place their pawn. Then answer the corresponding question/prompt. Move game pawn to cover the number just answered. Players continue to take turns answering questions/prompts and moving their pawn pieces until the first player/team has completed a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line of either 4 or 5 in a row.

How to Play The Printable Anger Management Card Game

In the spirit of other popular shedding-type card games, the player to get rid of all their cards first by wins. Players try to “match” the top card in the discard pile, by either laying down the same number, color (or shape, if using the black & white set), or type of action card. If the card contains a question or prompt, that player shares their response. The player may choose to decline responding by using 1 of their 2 Pass Tickets. Actions cards add fun twists and turns to the game. Actions include:

  •  TAKE 3: The next person in line must take 3 cards before taking their turn.
  • ROTATE RIGHT / ROTATE LEFT: All players pass on, or “rotate,” their cards to either the left or right, so that everyone exchanges hands with each other.
  • GO AGAIN: Player gets to “go again,” gaining an additional turn.
  • FREE!: Player who discards a FREE card is “free” to choose a new color (or shape) for the discard pile and then discard an additional card based on the color (or shape) they changed it to.
  • FREE + SPY!: Player who discards a FREE+SPY card can spy on one player by peeking at their cards and then is “free” to choose a new color (or shape) for the discard pile and then discard an additional card based on the color (or shape) they changed it to.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

A great game for my students this year. We’ve been struggling with minor behaviors turning into major interpersonal issues and this really helped my students reflect on their anger and their response to it.

This resource helps kids reflect on anger and ways to deal with it. The game format is great and it allows you to play in different ways. I’ve used it also to complement other games. Great to start conversation on the topic.

Used this with a student who needed to talk about her stressors and how to manage her anger. She liked it a lot and could not stop talking. I had to end the game and walk her back to class.

All of my students love UNO, so these UNO-like card games have been a gold-mine of a find for me! The anger management deck is my go-to with many of my clients. Thank you!
