(BUNDLE & SAVE: This product is also part of the Angry Feelings Bundle (Kids), a collection of all our anger management resources for children, offered at a discounted price.)

Looking for a fun and effective way to help kids make sense of their anger? My Anger Lapbook is a hands-on resource that guides children through the key parts of understanding and managing this powerful emotion.

Designed for ages 5 to 9, this printable activity helps kids identify what makes them angry, notice how anger feels in their body, and explore positive ways to cope—all while cutting, assembling, and building their own interactive folder.

What’s Included?

This resource is packed with kid-friendly pieces that come together to form a complete anger toolkit:

• Anger Triggers – Common situations that might cause frustration or upset
• Anger Signs – Physical clues like clenched fists or a red face
• Behavior Choices – Helpful vs. unhelpful reactions to anger
• Coping Tools – Simple strategies like deep breathing or taking a break
• Reflection Prompts – Easy questions to help kids express and understand their emotions

Each section comes with simple examples to guide the child, but there’s plenty of room to make it personal. For example, if humming a favorite song helps them feel better, they can add it in the reflection section. Whether they write it, draw it, or talk about it as they go, the lapbook becomes a space for what truly works for them.

There’s also a blank Calming Spinner included so they can add their own calming strategies. This is helpful if something important isn’t listed or if you want to explore new ideas together.

How to Assemble the Lapbook 

To create the lapbook, you’ll just need a file folder and a glue stick or tape. 

• Fold the folder so the sides meet in the middle (like shutters).
• Cut out the pieces and go through each one with your child or student.
• Talk about what each part means as you build the lapbook together.
• Take your time. Complete it all at once or over several short sessions.

It’s simple, hands-on, and engaging. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or school counselor, this tool fits perfectly into your home, classroom, or small group setting.
