I would redirect away when he needs it, and ignore the screaming (I know, VERY hard to do). I would tell the child "You are mad. It's ok to be mad. It is NOT ok to scream. You may do ____ when you stop screaming."
CRY SPOT.
and patience.
This! In my experience the only way to curb a tantrum is to completely ignore for as long as it takes. If he is used to screaming for 20minutes before someone gives in he will do that for a very long time before it gets better. I personally would put him away from the group and ignore for as long as it takes for him to calm himself down. He really needs to learn this important life skill.
