Welcome the student. Introduce yourself as their guide and explain that today’s mission is to become Action Heroes who learn to stay calm even when they feel angry. Highlight that we’ll use action figures and fun activities to discover helpful strategies.

Briefly review the three learning objectives so the student knows our goals up front. Use enthusiastic tone to build excitement.

Show the Hero Emotion Cards. Ask the student to name each emotion and discuss how it feels in the body. Then have them pick the anger card and share a time they felt that way.

Guide the student to pick an action figure that represents them. Prompt them through the scenario, pausing to label the trigger and verbalize feelings.

Hand over the Trigger Tracker Worksheet. Explain each column (when, where, what, intensity) and assist the student as needed.

Introduce each strategy on the Calming Strategy Chart. Model deep breathing with a timer. Encourage the student to try at least two and note which one felt best.

Celebrate the student’s effort. Ask them to choose one strategy as their personal “Hero Calm Strategy” and remind them it’s always available when they feel angry.
