The “What Makes You Go Bang?” activity is designed to support students with anger management by helping them identify their personal anger triggers in a structured and reflective way. Here’s a breakdown of its purpose and how it supports emotional regulation:

Raise Self-Awareness
Helps students recognize situations, people, or events that trigger their anger.
Encourages introspection and gives a name to emotions and reactions.

Normalise Emotional Responses
Reinforces that anger is a normal emotion, but how we manage it is key.
Helps students understand that everyone has different triggers and responses.

Promote Emotional Vocabulary
Builds students ability to describe and communicate their feelings instead of acting out.

Develop Self-Regulation Skills
Supports the identification stage in emotional regulation: recognizing triggers is the first step to managing them.
Prepares students to apply coping strategies when they feel triggered.

Reduce Behavioral Outbursts
By identifying triggers early, students can be proactive rather than reactive.
Helps teachers and support staff intervene more effectively.

Encourage Reflection and Accountability
Gives students a chance to take ownership of their feelings and behaviors.
Fosters a growth mindset around behavior and self-improvement.
