Six pages: yes or no, does the sentence mean what it says; circle what each saying means; match sayings to meanings; draw a saying and write its meaning; and sentences with sayings to explain.
Read "It's raining cats and dogs" and have students sketch what it says. Then talk about what it really means and why people say it.
Notice sayings at home, like "hit the hay" or "hold your horses", and ask your child what they really mean.
Sayings that do not mean just what they say, like "It's raining cats and dogs" and "I am all ears", beside sentences that do. Students tell the two apart, match sayings to their meanings, and draw what a saying says beside what it really means.
