Sayings and Phrases: Cry Wolf

• Ask students what the shepherd boy cried to get the farmers’
  attention. (He cried, “Wolf! Wolf!”)
  Remind students that the shepherd boy cried, “Wolf!” even when
  there was no wolf around.


• Explain that that phrase “cry wolf” is used to describe the action of
  crying, complaining, or asking for help when there is nothing really
  wrong or when no help is really needed. This phrase warns them that
  if they “cry wolf” too often, no help may come when they really need
  it.


• Have students work with their partner, small group, or home language
  peers to think of a real or hypothetical example of someone “crying
  wolf.”
