From Rage to Reason is an educational board game designed to teach important concepts and practical skills for controlling anger and avoiding violence. Players earn play money by giving Randy good advice on how to deal with frustrating and anger-provoking situations throughout his day, both on the job and in his personal life. Players are introduced to the concept that anger can carry Randy away towards actions that will be regretted later. Three sets of skills are introduced that help Randy stay calm, make good decisions, and prepare for difficult situations: self skills, thinking skills, and people skills. Students with anger and aggression problems are usually anxious and defensive whenever the subject is brought up. In the game, however, students are giving advice to Randy, a fictitious person. This "distance" puts them in a position where they can deal with and learn about these important issues without the usual defensiveness and denial. In the post-game discussion, the teacher relates the players' actions in the game to real life situations. Includes: game board, play money, rules, 4 sets of cards, anger control skills sheet and a "Teacher's Materials" booklet with complete lesson plans. Opended games are NOT returnable For 2 - 6 players. |
