(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

Find somewhere quiet to cool down
Scream into your pillow
“Getting angry doesn’t help me – it will just make me feel bad.”
Timeout
“Is this really the worst thing that could happen?”
“I CAN stand it when I don’t get what I want. I can cope.”
Listen to music
“Everyone deserves to be treated the way I would like to be treated – fairly and kindly.”
“When people behave badly or are different from me or when I don’t really know them, they are not totally bad people.”
“Even though I don’t like it, I can put up with people who treat me unfairly.”
Talk to the dog/take dog for walk
Anger
Find something fun to do
“Do I have to get very angry about this?”
“Being treated unfairly is not the end of the world.”
Jump in the pool/ocean
“Does it make sense to be very angry about this – or just annoyed or frustrated?”
Talk to an adult/friend
Take deep breaths
“Just because I feel angry doesn’t mean I have to act in an angry way.”
Have a cool drink
Meditation
“I can be happy even when people treat me unfairly.”
Ask for help
“How big is my problem? The size of my reaction should match the size of the problem. How big do others see the problem? How big should my reaction be?”
“I accept everyone – everyone makes mistakes and does things I don’t like sometimes.”
Take a nap
“When people don’t act the way I want them to, it’s not the worst thing that could happen to me.”
