Everyone gets angry and frustrated sometimes! When I’m angry, sometimes I want to scream, stomp my feet, or run really fast. What about you?

It’s never okay to hurt yourself or anybody else — even if you’re angry. But you can’t hurt a pillow! Let’s make a punching pillow that you can kick, hit, or punch if you feel like getting your anger out.

Let’s fill a pillowcase with old clothes, blankets or towels and tie a knot on the end to close it. Now you have a punching pillow!

Let’s try it out: give it a good, strong punch. How does that feel?

Let’s practice and then try punching it the next time we’re feeling angry.
