Six pages: circle what each saying means; match idioms to meanings; cut and sort idioms from adages and proverbs; pick the saying that fits a story (two pages); and write what sayings mean.
Share a proverb like "Many hands make light work." Ask students for a time it was true for them.
Use a saying at home, like "Look before you leap," and ask your child what it means.
Idioms like "spill the beans" and adages and proverbs like "Many hands make light work," in our own wording. Students explain what they mean, match them, sort idioms from sayings, and pick the saying that fits a short story.
