Anger Volcano

This Anger Volcano poster is a clear and empathetic visual tool that helps children and young people understand what’s really happening beneath angry behaviour. The top of the volcano shows the visible “eruption” behaviours we often see—such as shouting, stomping, or withdrawing—making it easier to recognise how anger can appear on the outside.

Beneath the surface of the volcano are the hidden feelings that are not always seen, including embarrassment, loneliness, rejection, sadness, confusion, and more. By separating behaviours from underlying emotions, this poster encourages empathy, self-awareness, and meaningful conversations about feelings. Ideal for classrooms, counselling spaces, and wellbeing areas, the Anger Volcano supports emotional literacy and helps learners understand that anger is often a sign of deeper emotions that need care and support.
