There are several versions of this story. In some cases Murugan is known to get angry on losing the race. In my opinion, this is a mythological story and mythological stories can be interpreted in different ways to represent different learnings.
In this story, showing Murugan as getting angry would set a wrong example to kids. That is the reason I have shown that it is normal for kids to get upset when they lose. If they spend some time to think calmly, that feeling will pass. In the end, they need to congratulate the winner when the victory is well deserved.
This attitude helps kids enjoy the activity and not worry about the result. Lord Krishna explains in the Gita - we have a right to action but not to the results.
