This worksheet helps you understand how anger affects your body and what makes you angry. Since this is a personal reflection task, there are no right or wrong answers — but I’ll give you clear examples to help you fill it out.

Step 1: Think about how your body feels when you’re angry.
When someone gets mad, their body often changes. For example:
- Your face might feel hot or turn red.
- Your hands might clench into fists.
- Your stomach might feel tight or upset.
- Your feet might want to stomp or run away.
- Your eyes might get wide or squinty.
- Your mouth might feel dry or like you want to yell.
You can pick any of these (or think of your own) and write them in the boxes next to “My ___ feels”.

Step 2: Write down what makes you angry.
These are called “anger triggers.” They’re things that make you feel mad. Examples:
- Someone takes my toy without asking.
- I don’t get to play outside because it’s raining.
- My sibling breaks my drawing.
- I have to clean up before I’m done playing.
- People laugh at me when I make a mistake.
Write five things like this in the numbered list at the bottom.

Final Answer:
Name: [Your Name]
My eyes feel: wide and hot
My face feels: red and warm
My belly feels: tight and knotty
My feet feel: heavy and ready to stomp
My ears feel: loud with buzzing thoughts
My mouth feels: dry and wants to shout
These are my anger triggers:
1. Someone interrupts me while I’m talking.
2. I lose a game I was winning.
3. My brother touches my stuff without permission.
4. I’m told “no” after waiting so long.
5. People ignore me when I try to join in.
