All sounds that we hear pass through our ears, and the fullness of our perception of the world around us largely depends on the state of our hearing.

> How to work with phraseological units ?It is necessary to start working with a phraseological unit by explaining its meaning.
To do this, you can use a synonym or synonymous expression.
For example, “to buzz all ears” - “to talk a lot about something, getting boring.”
After this, you can talk about the origin of the stable expression, as well as the meaning of the individual words that make it up (often archaic, outdated).
By the way, you can add images to the story that reflect the literal meaning of the expressions. The director washes his subordinate's neck, and foam lies all over the office. A lover hangs out on a clothesline to dry. The piece of cake rests against all hands and feet and does not go down the throat of the boy sitting at the table. It’s easy to interest a child with such funny illustrations. You can either draw them yourself, or use ready-made ones (see pictures here http://www.tvoyrebenok.ru/frazeologizmy-dlya-detey.shtml or in the picture dictionary on paper)
In addition, it is advisable for the explainer to know everything about what he is explaining. So, for example, it wouldn’t hurt to know that we know most phraseological units in abbreviated form:
He ate the dog [and choked on his tail].
Uma chamber [yes, the key is lost].
Two boots in a pair [and both are left].
The fool has a lot of fun [he puts two of his own].
Goal like a falcon [and sharp like an axe].
Hunger is not my auntie [- she won’t bring you a pie].
Whoever remembers the old is out of sight [and whoever forgets is both].
Bad luck is the beginning - [there is a hole, there will be a gap].
Neither fish, nor meat [, neither caftan, nor cassock].
A new broom sweeps in a new way [and when it breaks, it lies under the bench].
Alone in the field is not a warrior [but a traveler].
Horses die from work [and people grow stronger].
The drunken sea is knee-deep [and the puddle is up to his ears].
Dust is a column, smoke is a rocker, [but the hut is not heated, not swept].
A fisherman sees a fisherman from afar [and therefore avoids them].
An old horse will not spoil the furrows [and will not plow deeply].
Fear has big eyes [but they don’t see anything].
Miracles in a sieve [: there are many holes, but nowhere to jump out].
Sewn-covered [, and the knot is here].
My tongue is my enemy [it prowls before the mind, seeks trouble].
[Horses do not roam from oats,] but they do not seek good from good.
Grandmother [wondered,] said in two words [: either it will rain or it will snow, either it will happen or it won’t].
Of course, the child should be told about full version, only if it helps to understand this or that stable expression.
After the meaning of a certain number of phraseological units is correctly understood, you can begin work on memorizing, recognizing, identifying, consolidating, recalling from memory and using stable expressions.
To do this, you can use various game tasks.
1.1 “Dictionary of phraseological units”
Progress of the game: The teacher reads a sentence in which one of the components of the phraseological unit is used incorrectly. The children's task is to find an unnecessary word and insert the one necessary for a given phraseological unit.
. “Wrap it on your nose (mustache) that fighting is bad.”
. “Well, why do you always make a beetle (elephant) out of a molehill.”
. “Why are you talking to my lips (teeth)?”
. “Grandfather promised to soap my ears (neck) if I lead him by the hand (nose).
. “Friends shouldn’t put chips (sticks) in their wheels.”
1.2 Game “Guess, unfold”
Progress of the game: The teacher lays out images with figurative meaning phraseology. The task of the children is to find pictures for them with the direct meaning of the phraseological unit.
1.3 Game “Find the right picture”
Progress of the game: The teacher names a phraseological unit, and the child must find the corresponding image and prove his choice.
1.4 Game “Phraseological Zoo”
Progress of the game: The teacher names a phraseological unit, but omits the name of the animal. Children must choose the appropriate picture of an animal.
Hungry like a (wolf) Work like a (horse)
Cowardly as (hare)
Quirky as (really)
Dumb (fish)
Healthy as a bull
Stubborn as a donkey
Talkative like (magpie)
Cunning like (fox)

How (the cow) licked it with its tongue; not in (horse) feed; work is not (the wolf), will not run away into the forest; (disservice; spin like (a squirrel) in a wheel; (raven) count; write like (chicken) with its paw, (pig) will find dirt everywhere, etc.
