Lesson Plan
Tame the Volcano Lesson Plan
Students will learn to identify early signs of anger—and practice “Volcano Breathing” to calm down—so they can prevent emotional outbursts.
Teaching simple, fun anger-management techniques in a short, one-on-one format helps 3rd graders recognize and regulate feelings before they “explode,” building lifelong self-control skills.
