STOP THAT ANGRY THOUGHT GAME

http://www.researchpress.com/books/748/stop-angry-thought-game

Grades 2-12. This card game is designed for 2 to 4 players. It teaches students how to stop anger in its tracks by using two internal dialoging techniques—Thought Stopping and Self-Talk.

This card game can be used to play either of two familiar games—Concentration or Go Fish. The deck includes 37 pairs of cards. Each pair includes a situation card and a corresponding response card. As students react to hypothetical situations that might normally trigger anger, they see a red stop sign on each response card—a cue to stop the angry thought and come up with a better alternative.
