In our group “Sun”, folk holidays occupy a large place in introducing children to folk culture. The group had a thematic lesson “Larks”. The children made larks themselves from salt dough, took them outside and called out to the birds:

Larks, come!

Prepared and carried out

teacher of the first qualification category

Parfentyeva Lyudmila Ivanovna

SERGIEV POSAD, 2011

Program content:to cultivate a love of folk art, to give children an idea of ​​the national holiday (“Magpies”), to promote the development of interest in folk customs and games through folk chants.

Music used:

1. "Russian round dance" Spanish. Orchestra of folk musical instruments, conductor V. Krasnoyartsev.
2. "Lark" music. P.I. Tchaikovsky.
3. "Red Sundress" music. A. Varlamova
4. "Vesnyanka" music. T. Potapenko.

Progress of the lesson:

Children enter the music room. “Russian round dance” sounds.

1 child: On March 22 (March 9, old style), Orthodox Russia celebrates the “magpie” holiday. There is a belief that on this day 40 different birds fly from warm countries. And the first of them is a lark. On this day, housewives baked “larks” from simple dough.

2nd child: The lark is one of God's pure birds. There is a legend about the origin of the lark: God threw a lump of earth high into the air and turned it into a bird gray as the earth - the Lark.

3rd child: As God's bird, the lark was forbidden to be eaten, and killing was considered a great sin. The lark was called the singer of the Mother of God.

4th child: In the sun the dark forest glowed,

In the valley thin steam whitens,

And he sang an early song

In the azure the lark is ringing.

Sings, sparkling in the sun:

Spring has come to us young,

Here I sing the coming of spring... (Vasily Zhukovsky)

5th child: Soared under the sun

And in the bright heights

The invisible lark sings

A cheerful hymn to spring... (Evgeniy Baratynsky)

6th child: According to legend, larks removed thorns from the crown of thorns of the crucified Christ. Not only poets, but also composers dedicated their works to this inconspicuous gray bird. Listen to one of them.

Sounds like “Lark” by P.I. Tchaikovsky.

Leading: The arrival of the lark in all countries was associated with the arrival of spring. On this day, women baked larks from the dough and gave them first to the cows - in gratitude for milk and butter; then to the sheep - for warm boots, mittens and sheepskin coats, and then to the children. And she said:

(the girl is holding a plate of baked larks in her hands)

Oh, you are larks, larks

Fly to the field, bring health

The first is cow,

The second is sheep,

The third is human.

And the children ran into the street and shouted:

6th child: Larks, larks!

Come and visit us

Bring us a warm summer!

Take the cold winter away from us,

We're tired of the cold winter,

My hands and feet were frozen.

Leading: In many places, cookies were baked in the shape of crosses. The cross-shaped cookie was believed to have miraculous powers. Therefore, the crumbs remaining on the table were not thrown away, but collected and stored. In the spring, during sowing, they were thrown into a special sieve (network), from which grain was sown. A special method of fortune telling was also associated with cross-shaped cookies. Seeds, hop flakes, or a coin were placed in individual cookies. A grain means wealth, a flake of hop or a coin means fun.

Often “crosses” were given to children who ran with them from house to house and shouted special chants:

1 child: Crosses, crosses, larks,

2nd child: The cross is served and doused with water,

3rd child: Half of the shit will fall over,

4th child: The tub of milk will roll

Leading: The girls also made their calls, looking to the east:

Boy: Spring, red Spring!

Come spring with joy,

With great mercy,

With tall flax,

With deep roots,

With plenty of bread.

Round dance “It has become clear that the sun is shining.”

Leading: If, after the call of spring, frosts continued, then they performed a special ritual addressed to Frost (they put oatmeal jelly in bowls, on the edge of a field or on the porch) and invited them to taste the food:

Frost-Frost, don't touch my oats.

Come eat some jelly.

Spring comes to the music. Sounds like "Red Sundress".

Spring: I am spring - red!

I wake the earth from sleep.

I fill my kidneys with juice,

There's a grove of flowers in the fields

I drive ice away from the rivers.

I make the sunrise bright.

Everywhere: in the field and in the forest -

I bring joy to people.

7th child: Hello hello,

Unbeknownst to children, a recording of birdsong is started.

Children: What is this?

Educator: I don’t know. Someone is singing.

Children: We know that the birds are singing.

Educator: Yes, that’s right, we haven’t heard from them for a long time. I wonder why they didn't sing before?

Children: Because it was winter.

Educator: So what? Why can't they sing like that in winter?

Children: Because they are cold.

Educator: Isn’t it winter now?

Children: No, spring has come!

Educator: How do you know that spring has come?

Children: Flowers bloomed, buds appeared on the trees, it became warm outside, etc.

Educator: Absolutely right. Do you know which birds are the first to fly to their native lands?

Children's answers.

Educator: The rooks arrive first (shows a close-up picture of a rook and a reproduction of A.K. Savrasov’s “The Rooks Have Arrived”). They arrive when there is still snow on the ground and the first thawed patches are just beginning to appear. This was very well depicted by the famous Russian artist A.K. Savrasov’s painting is called “The Rooks Have Arrived.”

They look at the picture.

Educator: After the rooks, starlings arrive second (showing a picture of a starling). People make special houses for them. What are their names?

Children: These are birdhouses.

Educator: Do any of you know which bird is considered a real harbinger of spring; after its return, all the birds fly to their native lands?

Children's answers.

Educator: Let's listen to the singing of this bird.

Listen to an audio recording of a lark singing.

Educator: Did you like the bird’s singing?

Children: Yes, he sings beautifully.

Educator: And this bird’s name is lark (show picture). What bird does it remind you of?

Children: It looks like a sparrow, only a little bigger.

Educator: Absolutely right. The lark lives mainly in the steppe, in clearings, and rarely on the edge of the forest. The nest builds in a small hole in the grass, which it digs itself. It usually sings in flight and feeds by picking up food from the ground and pecking it from low plants where it can be reached with its beak. The food obtained by larks consists almost exclusively of insects, as well as weed seeds and carrion of cultivated plants. By eating weed seeds, it greatly helps crop plants. The lark has always been loved and revered in Rus'; many songs and poems have been written about it:

"Lark"

In the sun the dark forest glowed,

In the valley thin steam whitens,

And he sang an early song

Sings, sparkling in the sun:

Spring has come to us young,

I'm here singing the coming of spring.

It’s so easy for me here, it’s so welcoming,

So limitless, so airy;

I see God's whole world here.

And my song praises God!

Educator: Many folk signs are associated with the lark; folk holidays are dedicated to it. There is an ancient legend according to which the souls of forty Christian martyrs who were executed but did not renounce their Christian faith turned into larks. Since then, it has been believed that if larks fly in on the Day of the Forty Martyrs, which is celebrated in Rus' on March 22, the year will be successful, the harvest will be good, and the flax will be long! People simply call this holiday “Magpies.” It is believed that on this day forty birds fly in, and a lark flies ahead of everyone.

On the eve of this holiday, “larks” were baked in the villages, and in the morning they were distributed to children, and they, with their songs, invited real larks, called for spring: “Larks, fly in, take away the cold winter, bring the warmth of spring, we are tired of winter, we have eaten all our bread.” "

Educator: Do you want to make larks from dough yourself and bake them?

Children's answers.

The teacher shows the children the dough from which they will make larks. Children wash their hands, put aprons and caps (kerchiefs) on their heads and, according to the teacher’s explanation, make larks.

Method for sculpting a lark: (dough, flour).

1. A small piece of dough is kneaded into a rectangle shape.

2. Tie it in a knot so that you get two tails.

3. One ponytail is left rectangular.

4. From the second tail, a lark’s head is sculpted in the shape of a ball and a small beak is pulled out.

5. On the tail, which remains a rectangle, small cuts are made along it.

The larks are taken to the kitchen and baked.

A continuation of this activity can be used on a walk where children call larks.
