(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.

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