Poems for children: the best poets, classic and new. Review
These poems will learn on their own! The best contemporary children's poets
Marshak, Chukovsky and Agnia Barto are, of course, the three pillars on which our childhood stood and jumped, and our grandchildren will not escape them. But the child does not live by the clicking sound alone!
He has a lot of wonderful contemporaries who write amazing poems for kids from two to ninety-two. Envy! Better yet, read it with your descendants. The positive result will be two, no, a hundred times more!
Masha Rupasova
“I live in a small town on the Pacific coast, write poetry and fairy tales, and watch my child grow up. A child is a window to a new dimension, and I spend a lot of time at this window.”
Yes, Masha Rupasova’s Facebook stories about her son Maxon, the main tester of her work, and the various experiences of a great soul are a separate and constant pleasure.

Mom is at home?
Mom is gone.
Mom left.
In Internet.
Mom is looking
In the Internet,
How are you
In the white world.
Drinks coffee
Leads with his eyes -
What's out there in the world
Happening?
Mom, I'll tell you!
In the world I come from!
Vadim Levin
“I was lucky when I was born. This happened a very long time ago - in 1933... As a child, I had many wonderful books with kind, smart and funny poems. I memorized these poems, played with them... and tried to compose my own. I tried, tried, tried and got used to it.”
Levin is an ex-Kharkov resident, now a citizen of Marburg, a living classic, author of the immortal “Stupid Horse” and more.
Poems with Dragon
In my poems in the morning
One Dragon wandered
Said: “It’s high time!” –
And swallowed the balcony.
Slept for half a day, yawned
And he announced: “Lunch.”
He stood up and ate the chair,
Buffet and office.
I don't know what Dragon is
Eats at the end of the day...
What if he comes for dinner?
Will you include Me in the menu?
Imposing your taste
I won't fight the dragon
And I'm afraid to say
That I am a bad dish.
Of course he can
What does he want to eat for dinner?
But I'm such a Dragon
Not needed in my poems.
Andrey Usachev
“At first I wanted to be a traveler, then I wanted to be a geologist, then a musician, and in the end I became a writer. Not every writer knows right away that he will become a writer. Tolstoy, for example, was first a military man..."
And Usachev is also a playwright and screenwriter. Remember “The Smart Dog Sonya”? It was he who came up with it. Because instead of his daughter Sonya, his son Misha was born - so such a good name could not be lost!..
Three brothers
Three acrobat brothers
One day we went to the park:
One with an umbrella
The other one is with a cat,
And the third - just like that.
Suddenly it began to rain...
Hurry under the umbrella!
But there is little use in:
The three of us can’t fit under the umbrella,
Especially with a cat.
And yet brothers in the rain
Came home dry:
One with an umbrella
The other one is with a cat,
And the third - with the rest!
Arthur Givargizov
“As I remember now: “Givargizov, so that by the next lesson the essay about summer will be on my table!” Well, in the next lesson, of course, a broken pointer, a cry: “In what Hades?!” What other brother of Zeus?! Get out!" In general, right in the school corridor, I felt like a great writer. Then, however, he went out into the street and very quickly ran to Kolomenskoye for a walk. And I felt like a great runner...”
It’s easy to recognize Givargizov’s poetry: if at first you laugh loudly, and then, puffing away, mutter: “What a hooligan, and also such a big guy...” - that’s definitely him!
Unusual
“Why are you, Seryozha, in a bad mood today?” –
Two flies asked, biting Seryozha.
“He was exhausted from the intense heat,”
They said mosquitoes biting him.
“Come on, smile and dry your tears,”
They said, leeches and wasps bite.
“It’s unusual for us, he was always cheerful,” -
They said, biting, dogs and bees.
“Or maybe he got sick and that’s why he’s sad?”
“Leave the boy alone, the main thing is that it’s delicious!”
Tim Sobakin
“When I felt that my poems might be published today or tomorrow, I thought about a pseudonym. But nothing worthwhile came to my mind. And then I saw a children's film on TV. There is a boy standing in front of the squadron, so thin... And the commander solemnly: “For the courage and heroism shown, I express my gratitude to Gregory... what’s your last name?” He replies: “Yes, we are Dogs...” And I immediately realized: this is mine.”
In fact, he is Andrei Ivanov - but just read his poetry and prose... And you will immediately exclaim: as he writes, Sobakin! He was also the editor-in-chief of the great and immortal magazine “Tram”.
Caterpillar Revelation
As soon as the moon
Framed by windows
He will enter as a voluntary prisoner,
I'm under the blanket
Like a quilted cocoon,
I crawl in like a nasty caterpillar.
And there I think
About something wise
Frozen with a cylindrical stick.
And it seems to me
What from the cocoon in the morning
I'll flutter out like a cute butterfly.
But the morning comes -
And the sun on the puddle
Through the cloud
It shines confused...
From the cocoon
I'm crawling out
Innocent people spoil plants.
Lyudmila Ulanova
“I live in Kazan, I work as a translator in a computer company. Most often I write for children and for those adults who do not want to part with childhood. But my main achievement is, of course, my daughter Sashka. By the way, she also sometimes tries her hand at poetry. She and I often play “rhymes” and “poems” - it’s a very fun activity, I recommend it to everyone!”
And we suspect that Mila Ulanova is actually a circus performer at heart. You admire how she manages to juggle words - and your heart is filled with pure white envy. Well, and more joy.
Household bug
The bug is puffing - he is dragging a dandelion,
To make a sofa out of it.
He carries a red pepper into his bag,
After all, it is empty - it will do as a wardrobe.
He will make shelves out of pine cones,
The table is made of stone, and the doors are made of wood chips.
Only with the chandelier the question is still unclear,
And Firefly stubbornly disagrees!
Friend, it's called...
Grigory Kruzhkov
“Perhaps the most vivid childhood experience of meeting poetry is associated with the time when I was sick with something, had a high fever. I was two years old, just a baby. My mother carried me around the room in her arms and, to calm me down, read: “The poet died, a slave of honor, fell by slandered rumors...”. That’s how it got into me from then on.”
Kruzhkov is simultaneously a physicist, a translator, a teacher, and a philosopher. And in his children's works there are no less paradoxes, irony and cheerful absurdity than in his favorite English classics, which he actively translated.
Rrrry!
Leo came out
From behind the mountain
And, after thinking,
Said:
- Rrrry!
Cockatoos flew up:
What did you mean?
Will I tear it apart and tear it apart?
Will I smash it and scatter it?
Will I scare everyone away?
Lev said:
– I’m just RRRAD!
Mikhail Yasnov
“As a child, I was sure that I would become a great, serious poet. Then translation, children’s poetry, essays, reviews, articles, history were added to the poems... The result was a centaur.”
Yasnov gave children's literature (that is, to us!) a huge number of translations from French - and as many as sixty books of his own poems for children.
***
I walked out the door this morning -
Spring was all around,
And a flock of soap bubbles
Flew from the window.
She flew this way and that,
And to the side, and into the distance, and in breadth,
And the leader flew ahead -
Such a big bubble.
First forward, then back,
And down and up again, -
But bubbles and bubbles
I couldn't put it together.
Alone, cheerful as in a dream,
Hanging on the wires
Another, climbing the wall,
He sat down on the ledge.
And the third, blinded by the sun,
Whistled: “Fa-mi-re-do...”
And flew to the old maple -
Probably to build a nest.
Peter Sinyavsky
“Sometimes I’m sitting in a restaurant or walking down the street, and suddenly something comes up. I wrote the book “Mushroom Train” for about forty minutes, and “Green Pharmacy” took seven years.”
Sinyavsky began writing poetry at the age of forty, but his first song at twenty-five. Before becoming a writer and poet, he was a musician. And now he performs his songs with a guitar. The audience sings along with pleasure!
Weird story
Met a beetle in one forest
A cute wasp.
- Oh, what a fashionista!
Allow me to meet you.
Dear passer-by,
Well, that's a hundred percent similar!
You have no idea
How sultry you are!
And the beautiful wasp
Flew off into the sky.
Strange citizen
Probably a foreigner.
Annoyance bug with pretzels
Running around the clearing.
- It had to be like that
Go crazy!
How not to end up again
In such a situation -
We urgently need to get married
In a foreign language.
Sergey Makhotin
“It often happens that some child wakes up in the morning in a bad mood. The slipper got stuck under the bed, I don’t feel like having breakfast, and I don’t even want to go to school. This happens to adults too: they don’t want to go to work at all. There is a wonderful recipe: you need to remember and read a small funny poem!”
Well, Makhotin’s own poems are very suitable for this noble goal. And when he writes adult prose, and when he edits an adult magazine, he correctly does not forget that “children's poems are the happiest occupation in the world”!
We are on duty
We've been here for an hour today
They cleaned out the new class.
A hundred toffee papers
A hundred bits and notes
We discovered it.
There were only three lessons
Not five
And not six.
How did we manage to do so much?
Write, read and eat?!
Vyacheslav Leikin
“THEY were already waiting, looking at me, silent. I told him my name, said how old I was, and added that as a child I also tried to write poetry, but nothing good came of it...”
So Leikin, in his book “Playing Poetry,” begins a story about the children’s literary studio, which he led - and which, thanks to him, from “Lenin’s Sparks” became “Leikin’s” - and raised many excellent poets. Reading the works of his students is sometimes no less fun than his own. What can be said better about a teacher?
Baraboshka
Baraboshka lived in the world,
Weighed twenty kilograms
I looked out the window all day,
At night he ran around the yards.
He chewed only the humpbacks
And I read only the covers,
And neither boyfriend nor girlfriend
Baraboshka didn’t have it.
Having obtained a piece of lard,
He lured a cat to visit,
A day later she ran away
Scratching Baraboshka.
He calls the bulldog to him -
The bulldog eats an awful lot
The turtle will be invited -
The turtle sleeps and sleeps.
Baraboshka is bored and sad
To live alone in the world;
Hides his head in his hands
And not a word to anyone.
Days fly, nights flash by,
And he doesn’t know, poor thing,
What lives opposite is very
Lonely Cheburashka.
Mikhail Veksler
“I came up with this definition for myself: “writer.” I even avoid the word “poetry.” Either I replace it with the word “texts,” or I call them—I came up with a word—“vekslerostishya.”
Odessa Veksler is the very talent whose closest relative is brevity. Any of his poems, both children's and non-children's, are remembered instantly - and are perfectly quoted at every step!

Walking my own path,
I eat pies with potatoes.
Then I go and think:
“Where am I going?”
***
I walked along the shore. I missed you.
He knocked on the clam's house.
"Welcome!" - I heard
But he didn't go in. And he didn't come out.
***
And with a dog's tongue,
And I am familiar with the cat:
I understand dogs and cats
Half woof, half meow.
Marina Boroditskaya
“I'm like a three-headed dragon. One head composes for children, the other writes completely adult lyrics, the third translates. A fourth head regularly grows, and then I broadcast on the radio. And I started writing my childhood when my eldest son Andryusha was one and a half years old...”
Thanks to Marina's third head, we can communicate in Russian with Chaucer, Burns, Browning, Stevenson, Kipling, Milne, Carroll, Hugo... And thanks to the first, with her own sweetest and funniest characters.

“The area of my research was the processes that take place in solids when irradiated with electrons. There was a kind of poetry in all this: “Maxwell’s demon”, “Ewald’s sphere”, “Brillouin’s zone”…”
After the birth of her daughter Nastya, a miracle happened: a serious physicist hit the ground and turned into a children's lyricist! In addition to the children's audience in general, the St. Petersburg Zazerkalye Theater, where Natalya is in charge of the literary department, was particularly lucky.
My dad is a scientist-philosopher
My dad is a scientist-philosopher,
He believes: teaching is light,
He asks a lot of questions
And looking for every answer.

Putting glasses on your nose,

He once asked a question.
Here everyone thought a little
And he expressed his opinion:
I cheerfully shouted: “Cat!”
And mom sighed: “Underwear...”
Galina Dyadina
“So as not to waste / Useful words from the dictionary on myself, / I’ll just say about myself / Two modest words “Me” and “Be.”
This is the kind of modesty that adorns the author, who, already in three decades, has already become decorated with a carriage and a small cart of poems, in which a sea of love for children splashes. Despite the fact that Galina is not only a mother twice, but also a school teacher by profession! :)
Ant
In the thick, thick, thick grass
One day an ant disappeared...
After all, he is not an elephant or a giraffe,
Just a little ant...
An ordinary mushroom is already a mountain
Compared to drip mura...
And even a leaf is too much
Big for a tiny mur...
And who will find mu... in the grass?
I give him a cow!

A collection of children's poems: poems for the holidays, educational and developmental poems, original and thematic poems for children.
Train your child's memory!
Not every child can patiently listen to the end of a fairy tale or other prosaic story. While children's poems do not bore you with monotony, the rhyme in them jumps like over bumps, easily holding the attention of the little listener. It’s amazing how quickly children memorize rhymes; once you say them a few times, they can already finish the ending with you. Be sure to use this ability by training your memory from childhood, you will greatly simplify your child’s learning at school. Start with the poems of Agnia Barto in the “Toys” section, look for small quatrains, they are perfectly memorable. You still remember most of them by heart. Right?
How to learn a poem for the holiday?
In kindergarten and school, your child will more than once be faced with the need to recite poetry in front of an audience. This could be a New Year's party or an ordinary lesson, in any case, it is important that he is not afraid of it. But all you need to do is pay a little attention to it.
The poem must be learned in advance and repeated at home casually, without focusing on the importance of the event. For example, you can say: “remember, you and I learned a great poem? Well, tell it to me.” Children's poems are usually simple and the child will quickly remember them. You can rehearse by telling a poem to your dad or mom, grandfather or grandmother. You need to ask to speak loudly and with expression, but in no case should you lecture or interrupt during the speech. How your peers and you react to a little artist’s first performance is of great importance, so it’s best to start with relatives. By telling a few rhymes to people you know and receiving a friendly reaction, you will give your child confidence. Poems for children at matinees are an excellent way to train public speaking skills.
Reading poetry to children from an early age plays a huge role in the development of their intellectual abilities, thinking and strengthening memory. From infancy, children feel the rhythm of speech and are able to determine intonation from the first day of life. Therefore, initially, children learn about the world largely by ear. And they associate what is happening by the intonation of the parents’ speech.
Calm, but at the same time enriched with vocabulary, addresses to the baby from his first days will undoubtedly enrich his vocabulary, which in the future will help the child express his thoughts easily and naturally. And instilling a love for poetry from childhood will allow the child to use synonyms, rhyme and simply beautiful, well-coordinated expressions when communicating in the future.
Therefore, you can read poetry to children from infancy. After all, babies, even in their first month, are able to listen carefully to the rhymed and melodic lines of educational poems. And if reading is also accompanied by play using figurines or toys, then such a visual-auditory effect will only contribute to the early development of associative thinking. And when the child grows up a little, he will not only be happy to try to pronounce the syllables that are accessible and familiar to him with you, but also understand what they are talking about.
So why does poetry play an important role in a child's development?
The fact is that poetic speech is radically different from ordinary - colloquial speech. It is full of vivid images, spectacular, colorful, phonetically rich and perceived as a song. The child senses these features and is intuitively drawn to such works. And clear, sonorous, easy-to-remember rhymes, which are inherent in all children's poems, allow the child to learn the work without much effort in a few repetitions.
In turn, repeating and memorizing poetry is an excellent workout for the brain. While a child is playing with logical educational games or toys, only the left hemisphere of his brain is working hard, but when repeating and memorizing poems, the whole brain is actively working.
It has long been proven and it is no secret that a child who knows a large number of poems at an early age has a much easier time in later life, and such children demonstrate better indicators of intellectual development than their peers who, for some reason, learned poetry in childhood. They didn’t introduce us.
Of course, poems for kids need to be selected according to their age, for the little ones - short quatrains about their favorite toys, for older children - about nature, fairy-tale characters, animals. And do not strain the child with them, so that the baby loves them, and not vice versa.
Poems teach children to listen to the sound of words and give them the knowledge that words that sound the same can have different meanings (content) and, conversely, words that sound different can mean the same thing.
Children's poetry contains quite a lot of sound repetitions (alliterations) and consonances, which perfectly develop articulation and pronunciation.
Poems instill in a child a special, reverent, thoughtful attitude towards literature, allowing him to instill from an early age an understanding of the beauty of words, melody and rhythm.
Therefore, by surrounding the child with expressions in a variety of literary and artistic forms, we will undoubtedly ensure not only the development of meaningful, correct and beautiful speech in him, but also enrich his inner world and general emotional worldview.
To summarize, we can confidently say that studying poetry from an early age is a necessary and effective component of the overall development and learning of a child.
Poetry for children is a separate and very important genre of children's literature. It surrounds a child from the first days of his life: lullabies, songs, nurseries, jokes - these ancient genres seem to always exist within us, absorbed with mother’s milk.
Reading poetry out loud is especially important - rhymed lines set a special rhythm, teaching a child from a very early age to feel the beauty of spoken speech and the poetic word.
Simple but expressive images of children's poetry reveal to the child all the beauty of the world around him.
After all, good children's poets are loved by young readers precisely because they look at the world through their eyes. They notice the amazing properties of things that are familiar to us, which the child sees and learns for the first time in his life.
Of course, I would like to start introducing a child to poetry with the galaxy of our favorite authors: Korney Chukovsky, Samuil Marshak, Agnia Barto and others. We grew up reading these books, our mothers and grandmothers read them aloud to us and, of course, we also open treasured volumes and read such dear, familiar lines to our children.
We offer you the top 10 current poetry collections that will surely teach your child to love poetry. These books should be in every home!
1. The first place rightfully goes to the duet of Julia Donaldson and her permanent translator Marina Boroditskaya, decorated with wonderful illustrations by Axel Scheffler. Each of Donaldson's poetic tales becomes a hit, but, perhaps, children and parents love “The Gruffalo” the most.
2. Since childhood, Vadim Levin dreamed of translating old English ballads, but, alas, all of them have already been translated by Marshak, Chukovsky and other wonderful authors. But the poet was not at a loss and, without waiting for new ancient ballads, wrote his “English” poems. His "Silly Horse" is the best thing you can read since "Songs of Mother Goose."
3. Marina Boroditskaya not only masterfully translates Julia Donaldson and other famous authors, but also writes beautiful children's poems herself. In the collection “Moon Hare” they are collected for every taste and occasion: for girls, for boys, for parents and even for grandmothers.
4. The touching poem “The Dancing Giraffe” was written by the poetic heir of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll, Andre Giles. And it was published by the Pink Giraffe publishing house, thus creating a wonderful rhyme-coincidence.
5. The poet Mikhail Yasnov needs no introduction. His playful poems appeal to both adults and children alike. The book “The Scarecrow-Meow” is dedicated to cats, cats and kittens.
6. Andrei Smetanin writes poetry “on the topic of the day.” Either in a humorous manner he warns children against dangers, or he creates a gallery of hilarious children’s portraits in the collection “Where does a quarrel begin?” .
7. Andrey Usachev is the author of numerous books and collections. Some people especially like his lullabies, others enjoy his funny alphabet books. And for the first acquaintance with him, the collection “Such a Great Gift!”
8. The young poetess Galina Dyadina wrote “The Book in the Vest” - a collection of poems about the sea, arranged in alphabetical order. Excellent reading before the holidays or on a seaside holiday.
On almost every poetry collection, publishers write the cherished phrase “For reading by adults to children.” Indeed, reading poetry together is simply necessary for every family! And it’s easy to turn the bright and unusual works of modern poets into real home performances, telling them by role and in different voices, accompanying the reading with various special effects that emphasize the author’s idea.
It is also very useful to learn poetry by heart. Firstly, it develops memory and enriches the child’s speech. Secondly, this is a sure way to please your grandmother and amaze everyone at a party in a kindergarten or at a reading competition. Competitions like this, for example, “Children Read Poems: Spring and Spring Festivals,” are a great way for all talented and artistic people to show themselves and compete for prizes.
Unusual and bright poems by Yasnov, Levin or Donaldson compare favorably with the classical repertoire of children's matinees. And it is also very important that they tell about modern and relevant children's problems and experiences. And most importantly, the more good poetry you read with your child, the richer and more interesting his perception of the world becomes.

Many Russian poets wrote poems for children, believing that literature, first of all, should perform educational and educational functions. Similar works are typical for the works of Alexander Pushkin and Mikhail Lermontov, Daniil Kharms and Boris Zakhoder, Samuil Marshak and Sergei Mikhalkov. Some poets, including Agnia Barto, Emma Moshkovskaya, Korney Chukovsky, Eduard Uspensky and Grigory Oster, are rightfully considered children's authors, since their work is primarily addressed to the younger generation.
It is generally accepted that children's poetry is quite primitive in form and content. However, this literary genre is one of the most difficult. After all, it is necessary not only to convey to the little reader the meaning of the work, but also to give it such an emotional coloring that the poem becomes not just a rhymed narrative, but also helps the child find answers to questions that interest him.
10th place. For example, all parents, without exception, are faced with the problem of feeding children who refuse to eat healthy porridge, demanding sweets instead. To convince children of the need for nutritious and healthy nutrition, the poet Lev Kuzmin wrote the poem “How to get to heaven?”. In it, he talks about how this is quite difficult to do, since you need to have the strength and dexterity to first climb the tallest tree in the forest, and then stand with your feet on the clouds and begin your journey across the endless expanses of heaven. However, to do this, according to the author, you first need to sit down at the table and eat a plate of semolina porridge, without which such a trip is simply impossible.
"How to get to heaven?" L.Kuzmin
What needs to be done, brothers,
To get to heaven?First you need to sit down at the table,
Eat a plate of semolina porridge,
Then go to the green forest,
Find a big tree
And up
By strong branches
Rise to the white clouds.
And there - stand on the cloud with your foot,
Step onto the other's rainbow.
And now we can’t be reached,
And the skies are all ours...
But, I repeat, start
We need porridge with semolina!
9th place. Relationships with the outside world are one of the key themes of children's poetry. A child, learning about living nature and his surroundings, often makes unforgivable mistakes, causing pain to living beings and without even thinking about the consequences of his actions. To protect children from such rash behavior, the poet Sasha Cherny wrote a poem “Why are you squeezing the duckling”, which tries to explain to kids that baby pets are not classified as toys. A little duckling in the hands of a yard boy experiences panic and tries to escape, although the child seems to be doing nothing wrong. To understand what the barely fledgling chick is experiencing at this moment, the poet invites the boy to imagine that a clumsy hippopotamus has chosen him as a toy. One clumsy touch from him can cost a human baby his life, just as attempts to play with a duckling can lead to the death of the chick.
“Why are you squeezing the duckling” S. Cherny
Why are you squeezing the duckling?
He is a baby, and you are big.
Look, with your little head raised,
He rushes away with all his soul...Just imagine something like this -
If only a fat hippopotamus
I wanted to be with you out of boredom
Would you like to play in your turn?I would take you tightly in my paw,
I would lick it with my tongue.
Wow, what would you call your dad?
And kick and scream!..You take the duckling to the duckling,
Let him go swimming in the pond.
The boy's paws are no joke
Squeeze a little and it's kaput.
8th place. It's no secret that most children are very impressionable and vulnerable. It is quite easy to offend a child, and sometimes all it takes is one wrong word or a glance from under his brow. Meanwhile, the ability to sensitively perceive the mood of adults and the atmosphere in the house often makes children suffer. To learn to overcome such feelings, which can cause a lot of problems in adult life, the poetess Emma Moshkovskaya dedicated a very instructive poem “Resentment” to all the kids.. In it, she talks about how, offended by the whole world, the child stops noticing what previously gave him great pleasure, becomes withdrawn and taciturn. However, such behavior is unnatural for cheerful children; it is often dictated by the desire to attract the attention of adults. Having gone through this little test, every child sooner or later understands that resentment is not the best feeling, getting rid of which gives real joy and a feeling of liberation from a heavy burden.
“Resentment” E. Moshkovskaya
I offended my mother
Now never, never
We won't leave the house together,
We won't go anywhere with her.
She won't wave at the window,
Me too
I won't wave
She won't tell anything
Me too
I won't tell...
I'll take the bag by the shoulders,
I'll find a piece of bread
I'll find a stronger stick
I'll leave, I'll go to the taiga!
I'll follow the trail
I will look for ore
I'm across a stormy river
I'll go build bridges!
And I will be the main boss,
And I will have a beard
And I will always be sad
And so silent...
And then there will be a winter evening,
And many years will pass,
And then onto the jet plane
Mom will take the ticket.
And on my birthday
That plane will arrive.
And mom will come out from there,
And mom will forgive me!
7th place. One of the most difficult tasks for parents is teaching their child to be clean. Indeed, how can you return home from a walk without dirt on your clothes if there are so many amazingly deep, unexplored puddles around? As an assistant for solving such a problem, you can use a poem by Vladimir Orlov entitled “How to recognize your piglet?”, which will certainly make kids think about their own behavior and not forget about cleanliness even during the most exciting yard games.
“How to recognize your piglet?” V. Orlov
The boys were running through the puddles,
Sorry, piglets.
(And, by the way, there are guys
Same as piglets.)
But then mothers appear -
Respectable, strict ladies,
Running towards the guys,
Sorry to your piglets.
- Please tell me, mothers,
Do you have any drama?
Someone else's pig is not allowed
Mistaken for your own child?
They are beautiful and comely,
But they are all absolutely alike!
-Sorry! - the mothers answered. —
My little piggy is the cleanest.
6th place. Truths that are commonplace for adults are not always clear to children. For example, how to explain to a baby what day and night are, and why they replace each other? The poetess tried to solve a similar problem Nadezhda Grigorieva in her poem “Day”, which will help young pranksters not only get an idea of time, but also learn to plan it correctly.
“Day” by N. Grigoriev
In the morning the sun rises,
Doesn't let the kids sleep!
-Come on, kids, get up,
Charge up, wash up,
Dress carefully
And start breakfast.At noon the sun is at its zenith,
His rays are like threads
The earth is generously warmed,
Everyone is invited to dinner.Well, in the evening, guys,
Everything will be enveloped in coolness,
The sun needs rest too
And the guys have a delicious dinner.At night there is a moon in the sky,
She is very strict:
Is everyone watching?
Are you in bed?
Close your eyes
May you dream fairy tales.
Close your eyes
Good night everybody!From morning to morning
The kids know the day.
5th place. By the way, with the help of poetry, children can easily be taught the basics of mathematics, since many Russian poets came up with fascinating and educational rhymes for the little ones. In particular, one of puzzle poems called “Two and Three” belongs to the poet Boris Zakhoder, in which he clearly showed what serious problems a reluctance to learn to count correctly can result in for a child.
“Two and Three” B. Zakhoder
Seryozha went to first grade.
Don't joke with Seryozhka!
Count
He can do it with us
Almost
To ten!
It's no sin for such a wise man
Turn up your snub nose!
Once upon a time at my father’s table
And he asked a question:
- There are two pies here, dad, right?
If you want, bet! —
I can always prove
That there are not two, but three!
Let's count together:
Here's ONE
And here are TWO, look!
ONE and TWO,” the son finished, “
There will be just THREE!
- Well done! - said the father. —
And actually three!
And that's why
I'll take two
And take the third one!
4th place. Family and school are the main components of most children's lives. Therefore, it is not surprising that many Russian poets devoted their poems to these important aspects of the formation of a child’s personality. The most exciting day in the life of every child is rightfully considered September 1, when the child first has to sit at a school desk. His main task is to study well, which is discussed in his poetess Zinaida Aleksandrova reminded all children of the poem “To School”.
“To school” by Z. Aleksandrova
Yellow leaves are flying,
It's a fun day.
Sees off kindergarten
The kids are going to school.Our flowers have faded,
Birds fly away.
— You are going for the first time
Study in first grade.Sad dolls sitting
On an empty terrace.
Our cheerful kindergarten
Reminisce in class.Remember the garden
A river in a distant field...
We are also in a year
We'll be with you at school.The country train has departed,
Rushing past the windows...
- They promised well
Best to learn!
3rd place. True, over time, children’s thirst for knowledge noticeably weakens, and this is quite natural. After all, life is so multifaceted and varied, and its temptations are sometimes much stronger than the desire to comprehend the basics of science in a stuffy school classroom. However, without knowledge these days it is impossible to become a truly successful person, which is discussed in my instructive the poem “The Cat and the Quirks” was told by the poet Samuil Marshak.
“The Cat and the Quirks” S. Marshak
Quirks gathered
To class,
And the quitters got caught
To the rink.Thick backpack with books
On the back,
And the skates under my arms
On the belt.They see, the lazy people see:
Out of the gate
Gloomy and tattered
The cat is coming.Quirks ask
Him:
- Why are you frowning?
From what?Meowed pitifully
Gray cat:
- To me, a mustachioed cat,
It's almost a year.And I'm handsome, lazybones,
And smart
And writing and literacy
Not a scientist.The school has not been built
For kittens.
Teach us to read and write
Do not want.And now without a diploma
You'll disappear
Far from being literate
You will not leave.Don't drink without a diploma,
Neither to eat,
Numbers on the gate
Don't read it!Quirks answer:
- Cute cat,
We'll get the twelfth
It's almost a year.They teach us to read and write
And a letter
But they can’t learn
Nothing.We have to learn, quitters,
Somewhat lazy.
We go ice skating
All day.We don't write with stylus
On the desk,
And we write with skates
On the rink!Answers quitters
Gray cat:
- To me, a mustachioed cat,
It's almost a year.I've known a lot of quitters
Like you
And I met such people
For the first time!
2nd place. Of course, school provides the foundations of knowledge that will be useful to every child in the future. However, what is much more important is what skills, traditions and principles he will take from his own family when the time comes to enter adulthood. The main task of parents is to teach their child sensitivity and attention to those around him. And in this regard, it is very indicative poem by Mikhail Sadovsky “Who do we learn kindness from?”. In it, the author talks about how the very first and most important teachers of children are their parents, and it depends on them how exactly their child will grow up.
“Who do we learn kindness from?” M. Sadovsky
Who do we learn from?
Kindness?
The blueberries have a smoky
On a bush
At the starling flying
With a worm
By the meadows, combed
Breeze,At the ears of corn ripening
On the fields,
The rain has arrived
In the clouds,
At the jester giving
People laugh
And by the gentle sun
For all,
The big nods
We need elephants
And daddy's song,
What without words -
Everything is open
Around us
But first - at my mother's
Good hands.
1 place. An equally important educational factor is the presence of several children in a family, which helps older children become more responsible, and also develops in them a sense of duty and the desire to always come to the aid of loved ones. Just read poem by Elena Blaginina “I’ll teach my brother how to put on shoes” to understand: children are very plastic creatures who very often copy the behavior of adults and can become real helpers if the desire for this is cultivated from the first years of their life.
“I’ll teach my brother how to put on shoes” by E. Blaginin
I know how to put on shoes
If only I want.
Me and little brother
I'll teach you how to put on shoes.Here they are - boots.
This one is from the left leg,
This one is from the right leg.If it rains,
Let's put on our galoshes.
This one is from the right leg,
This one is from the left leg.
