Got 15 minutes? That's all you'll need to teach anger control skills using this inventive game.

Designed with busy counselors in mind, Escape From Anger Island teaches six important anger management techniques: Problem Solving, Knowing Your Hot Buttons, Talking Out Conflicts, Reducing Stress, Self Talk, and Relaxation. However, players focus on just one skill at a time. During each 15-minute playing session, they use that skill to answer thought-provoking game cards as they try to escape from Anger Island. Kids can play multiple times to master all six skills.

Included with the game are two reproducible forms: an Anger Management Checklist that can be completed by a teacher or parent and a Skills Record that can be used to keep track of skills mastered. These forms, along with a list of between-session activities and post-play discussion questions, make this an extremely useful counseling tool. Can be played by one adult and one child (15 minutes playing time) or one adult and up to five children or teams (45 to 60 minutes).
