Let's Go Fishing is an expensive, accessible game that is great for young kids. It helps with patience, regulation, and self-control. I have a free PDF download for how to teach about anger as a secondary emotion by writing feelings words on the bottom of the fish and showing that other feelings can be under the surface.
What I love about the game:
It's easy to set up and easy to play.
Kids have to use patience and self-control to catch the fish.
Young kids have to deal with frustration, allowing for modeling appropriate coping skills.
Kids learn about feelings that may be expressed as anger when anger is not the primary emotion for the situation.

What I don't love about the game:
The annoying noise it makes while it is on.
The materials are pretty cheap. Fish can break if stepped on.
