Nursery about a grandmother with a bucket and a hare. Techniques for teaching the creation of nursery rhymes and fables

In this lesson, you will get acquainted with pestushki, nursery rhymes and jokes, learn what purpose they are used for, and learn how to read them correctly.

This is a comic quatrain with funny words. And to find out what the people call such rhymes, you need to decipher the following word:

Akshetop

Read it from right to left:

Nursery rhyme

Nursery rhyme is a funny folk song. Word nursery rhyme comes from the word make fun(to laugh without malice; to make fun of someone, something). Nursery rhymes are called folk, because they are created by the people. When children were lulled or amused so that they would not cry, they were told or sung such nursery rhymes.

Read some of them:

Knocks, strumbles down the street:

Thomas rides a chicken

Timoshka on a cat

On a crooked track(fig. 2) .

Rice. 2. "Knocks, strumbles on the street" ()

There was a clock on the wall

The cockroaches ate the arrow

The mice tore off the weights,

And the clock did not go.

And cat, cat, cat,

Curly little pubis,

I stole a ball from my grandmother,

And hid it in a corner

And grandmother caught up

Took a little(fig. 3) .

Rice. 3. "A cat, cat, cat ..." ()

Read a few rhymes:

- Fedul, that pouted his lips?

- The caftan burned through.

- Can I sew it up?

- Yes, there is no needle.

- Is the hole big?

- One gate remained(fig. 4) .

- I caught a bear!

- So bring me here!

- It doesn't work that way.

- So lead yourself!

- He won't let me in!(fig. 5)

Dog

- Dog, what are you barking?

- I scare the wolves.

- The dog that tucked his tail?

- I'm afraid of wolves.

Think about the difference between the verses read above and nursery rhymes? Both are funny, but the last verses are built in the form of a dialogue (a conversation between two people or animals). These are not nursery rhymes, these are jokes.

Among the people, small fairy tales, short funny stories, sometimes in the form of a dialogue, are called jokes .

Jokes differ from pestushki and nursery rhymes in that they are not associated with any game movements. But they have some kind of fabulous plot. For example:

Fidget babies

Light head,

It floods, sings,

Just like a nightingale!

It doesn't matter that there is no skill,

A lot of singing joy(fig. 6) .

Get out of the way cat!

The doll Tanechka is walking

Will never fall!

The Russian people, like any other, have their own invaluable wealth - folklore. Mothers, grandmothers, nannies composed jokes, songs, pestushki for their little children.

Pestushki - these are small poems that were accompanied by movements little child handles, legs.

Word little dogs comes from the word foster- groom, cherish, nurse.

When the baby wakes up and stretches, it is stroked on the tummy and chanted:

Siphon,

teenagers,

mouth talker

grabbing hands

The baby's knowledge of the surrounding objects is formed depending on what he is told, therefore the animals are endowed with human qualities.

Nursery rhymes, jokes, pestushki need to be told in a special voice: affectionately, tenderly, so that the child understands that they are addressed specifically to him, and so that the child understands what it is with these nursery rhymes or pestushki that the mother, nanny or grandmother wants to tell the child. Read them slowly, chantingly, gently. For example:

Dog in the kitchen

He bakes pies.

Cat in the corner

Crackers are crushing.

Cat in the window

The dress is sewn.

Hen in boots

Sweeping the hut(fig. 8) .

Rice. 8. "The dog in the kitchen ..." ()

This is how the baby grows:

pestushki - we swing in our arms, we lull;
nursery rhymes - we play with hands and feet;
jokes - we teach to learn about the world around.

How to entertain a baby who does not yet know how to play, walk and talk? Everything is very simple - you yourself need to talk with your baby more often, because the child's hearing develops in the first place.

After birth, a newborn is not yet accustomed to a new world for him, and everything that is not familiar seems to be alien. Help your little one get used to a new life, to a new world, to a completely new atmosphere. For now, a monologue on your part will help your baby to adapt faster and begin to develop. A nursery rhyme is a verdict song that accompanies the game with the fingers, arms and legs of the baby. Nursery rhymes help the child to develop skills such as fine motor skills, getting used to hygiene, order. Thanks to nursery rhymes, the baby develops emotionally, which is important for his overall development.

Previously, nursery rhymes and little dogs were an integral part of raising a child. They were passed down from generation to generation, and it was a wonderful way to communicate with a baby. Today we use these funny folklore rhymes less and less and do not even suspect about the colossal benefits that they bring.

First of all, nursery rhymes and little dogs are a way to establish contact with the baby and pleasant emotions. During the pestushka, you can do a light massage to the child, stroke the arms and legs. When mom pronounces a rhythmic little pestle or nursery rhyme, she does it expressively, affectionately, stretching out vowel sounds. Babies like such speech, they understand it, and thus the foundations for the development of speech are laid from the first months of a baby's life. And for this you do not need to do anything on purpose - it’s just pleasant to spend time with the baby, accompanying some of your actions with nursery rhymes or little pies.

With the help of nursery rhymes and little toys, you can play with your child and introduce him to the world around him through simple and easy communication. They are also irreplaceable when it is necessary to distract or calm the child, to teach him to the daily routine: to wash, dress, comb, go to bed. With nursery rhymes, native speech is mastered, fine motor skills develop, a sense of rhythm and is getting better emotional connection between mom and baby.

These are all good reasons not to forget to pamper and entertain your baby with funny nursery rhymes, jokes and little pies.

In the morning when the baby woke up

We woke up,
We woke up.
Sweetly, sweetly stretched.
Mom and Dad smiled.

Here we woke up, stretched,
Turned from side to side!
Stir-fry! Stir-fry!
Where are the toys, rattles?
You, toy, rattle, raise our baby!

Puffed-ups:
In the little hands - gratuitous,
In the legs - walkers,
In the mouth - talk,
And in the head - a mind!

Who, who lives in this room?
Who, who rises with the sun?
It was Mashenka who woke up
Turned from side to side,
And, throwing back the blanket,
Suddenly she got up on her feet!
(A. Barto)

The sun looks out the window,
Shines in our room.
We clap our hands -
Very happy about the sun.

And a jug of milk.

There is a dream at the cradle -
Bayu, bayu.
Whose eyes wanted to sleep here -
I know I know.
You do not have three of them with your fists, close them,
Sleep rocks the cradle.
Go to sleep.

(bend our fingers)
This finger wants to sleep
This finger went to bed
This finger just took a nap,
This finger has already fallen asleep.
This one is fast, sound asleep.
Quiet! Hush, don't make noise!
The red sun will rise
The clear morning will come.
The birds will chirp
Fingers will get up!
(fingers unbend)

Was this information useful?

Not really

We do our homework with my youngest daughter in the evenings in the kitchen, when I come home from work. My daughter Sanya is a scraper, when she was born, the older children were already finishing school. And they were all immensely happy about her birth, and nursed together from the first days of her life. And now, when the older guys have all become independent and scattered in one place, Sanya and I are left alone, and I have to go through the school path with her from the very beginning. The first class was given to us with difficulty, there were more experiences and failures than joy and pride in success. Sasha went to the second grade with confidence, there was a desire to study, school friends finally appeared. The child is ripe for school.

Of all the school subjects, Sasha loves reading most of all. Moreover, it is difficult for her to read large texts on her own, we always read them together, but poems, nursery rhymes, tongue twisters cause a sea of joy and emotions in her.

After work, most of all I want to disconnect for at least half an hour, but when I open the door, it immediately becomes clear that this is impossible. Our kitten meets me first, it flies out sideways from around the corner, jumps at me, and immediately rushes screaming to the bowl. Behind him, my dear Sanechka skips along. The ponytail is on one side, the rubber band got lost in a day, and she still does not know how to tie her hair on her own. A reading textbook is in her hands, and she rushes to hug me with it.

After feeding the kitten, we both sit down to supper ourselves. Sasha chatters, talking about all his daytime adventures, school successes, homework. The reading topic they are currently studying is oral folk art, or folklore. This word is not given to Sasha in any way, and I don’t understand why second-graders need it. The topic itself is very good, there are riddles here, and here are epics about Ilya Muromets. I tell my daughter that Ilya Muromets actually existed, that he really was a man of great strength, that there are a lot of fiction and fairy tales about him in the epics, but he really was a defender and a hero, therefore he remained in the memory of the people. That Ilya Muromets rests in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, where he died as a schema monk, and where he is canonized.

My daughter pauses for a while, digesting dinner and the information received from me.
- Mom, we were given such an interesting task today! Only I can't do it without you. We have a funny picture in the textbook, we need to come up with a nursery rhyme for it, but my rhymes have scattered.
- Have you eaten? Do you want to eat more? Then let's clear the table, and we'll compose a nursery rhyme ...
- Mom, hurray, you caught the rhyme!
- It happened by chance, when on assignment - then the rhymes really scatter, daughter.

We empty the table, grab a textbook and a notebook, and start thinking.
In the picture, for which you need to come up with a nursery rhyme, it is not clear what is drawn. Granny, girl, hare, chicken and mouse run in different directions, scattering buckets of water and apples. Here you go, come up with something sensible ...
We think an hour. We twist it this way and that way, we both laugh to tears. The result is a masterpiece:

Grandma ran with buckets
slipped and fell.
Grandma scared her granddaughter
And she lost her buckets.
And the animals fled, they also lost their buckets.
Hare clap - an apple on the forehead!
Chicken seams - cluck-tah-tah!
The mouse is bruised - she has a bruise!

We especially laugh at the poor mouse, and so we go to bed laughing. At night, the daughter smiles in her sleep. She dreams of a mouse with a bruise on the bottom, and a grandmother with buckets. And maybe also Ilya Muromets, about whom I talked so much in the evening. Such a joy when you can do homework together like this, drink tea and laugh. And then watch how your child smiles in a dream. Simple moments of real happiness.
