Do you know what a sentence is? What are these small literary works? For what and for whom are they intended? What is a sentence - a request or an attempt to influence the forces of nature? What should be said and when?

What is a sentence in children's folklore?

So, in order. What is a sentence? In children's folklore, this is the name given to small poetic appeals to plants, birds, and animals. These may be direct requests. Or maybe sound imitations. The well-known appeal to the cuckoo also applies to sentences: “How long can I live?” Calls were also very popular before. Both they and sentences owe their origin to ancient conspiracies and spells, with the help of which our ancestors tried to somehow influence the forces of nature. Today it is just an element of children's entertainment and fun. In games, you can often hear the following sentences:

Hello bee! Give me honey, Be full of my deck!

Or:

Ladybug, fly away to the sky!

There your kids eat meatballs!

Pestushki and nursery rhymes– a kind of sentences

In a word, what a sentence is, in general, is understandable. Nevertheless, they, in turn, also have some varieties. Appeals to animate and inanimate nature are only a large part of them.

There are, for example, nannies and mothers have short poetic sentences (pestles) that accompany tactile contact with the baby in the first months of his life. The actions and movements of the child are much more fun. For example, the baby wakes up, and the mother strokes his tummy, saying:

Pimps, pigs, Mouth - talkers, Legs - walkers, And the pens are grippers.

Rhymes also accompany the development and growth of the child. They accompany games with the legs, arms and fingers of the baby. For example, the famous "magpie-crow" or "patties" for older children.

Popularity in the old days

Our ancestors used folk sentences, of course, much more often than today. Many ancient holidays and rituals were accompanied by poems created by people. It is in children's creativity that the special popularity of sentences in ancient times can be traced.

Of course, kids playing could be seen anytime, anywhere. Sayings sounded in both rural and urban courtyards, along with riddles, tongue twisters, counting rhymes and teasers.

A fascinating and mysterious world

Let's summarize. Children's folklore (sayings, incantations, nursery rhymes, etc.) is a real fascinating, mysterious and funthe world. At the same time always fair and kind. Even though teasers can somehow hook a child, they are still distinctly harmless. For example:

One and two and three and four!

And why were you taught?

Neither write nor read, And only jump across the field!

Sentences are rooted in antiquity. They originated many centuries ago - when people took the wind, rain, earth and sun for living beings. With sentences they begged nature to have mercy on them. Rain - to water the earth, the sun - to warm them, the wind - to rid the sky of extra clouds. Time has passed. The magical meaning of the sentences has already been forgotten. But as nursery rhymes, they are still used by them in various games:

Rain-rain, more lei, Don't be sorry for the water.

Dam cucumber, Out on the porch.

Ladies also a loaf, Don't stop watering!

In a word, there are a lot of such sentences in children's folklore. All of them perfectly cheer up the guys, as they are very cheerful, funny, cheerful. Accompanying children's games, they cannot help but make the people around them smile. Indeed, kids delight and touch everyone around, sincerely rejoicing at their interesting entertainment!
