Parents, Teachers and Therapists - Activities for Children Following the Chapter:
• Ask the children to make a list of magical powers they can find when they tame their anger imps.
• Discuss what magical powers can help them tame their anger imps. I recommend presenting
the magical powers cards and choosing amongst them. For example: The Power to Calm Down,
The Power to Ask for Help, The Power to Share Thoughts and Feelings, The Power to Believe in
Myself.
• Additional activity: ask the children to draw their anger as a wild animal held on a leash, and
then make a drawing depicting what happens after they let go of it.
• Assignment: Complete the table at the end of the book in Appendix 2: "The King of Solutions
for Anger Problems."
