During the New Year's party in kindergarten, children traditionally recite poems to Grandfather Frost. The children demonstrate their speech and artistic abilities. When choosing works for preschoolers, it is better for the teacher to turn to proven authors - classics of Russian literature and modern poets. This will develop children’s artistic taste, imagination and teach them to appreciate the beauty of their native language.

The importance of classical and modern poetry for the development of preschool children
Classical and modern poetry plays an important role in the development of preschool children:
- It is spectacular, rich in vivid images and comparisons, which makes children’s imagination work.
- Expands the child’s horizons, enriches his emotions, educates him morally
- Gives wonderful examples of the Russian literary language: clear and sonorous rhymes, musicality, melodiousness. Poems include words that we rarely use in everyday life: thus, the preschooler’s vocabulary is enriched.
- The abundance of alliterations and consonances perfectly develops articulation.
It is appropriate to offer most of the works of Russian classics and contemporaries to older preschoolers (although some children can recite them in the middle group). After all, at this age, children can already memorize interesting plot poems, which, as a rule, have a fairly large volume (from three quatrains).
New Year's poems by classics and modern poets are usually quite voluminous, so they are more suitable for memorization by older preschoolers
Poems of Russian poets of the 18th - early 20th centuries
Many classical works of the 18th and early 20th centuries are, of course, difficult for preschoolers to perceive and memorize, but suitable options can be chosen from among them. Thus, in the poems of I. Nikitin and P. Vyazemsky, a beautiful image of winter is created - it becomes animated, takes on human traits (smiles, sings songs):
- P. Vyazemsky Hello, in a white sundress made of silver brocade! Diamonds burn on you, Like bright rays. You are a life-giving smile, With the fresh charm of your face you awaken sleepy hearts to new feelings! Hello, Russian pullet, Beautiful soul. Snow-white winch, Hello, Mother Winter!
- I. Nikitin “Meeting Winter” (excerpt) Hello, winter guest! We ask you to be kind to us to sing songs of the north through the forests and steppes. We have freedom, - Walk anywhere; Build bridges over rivers and spread carpets. We will never get used to it, - Let your frost crack: Our Russian blood burns in the frost!
In the poems of the classics, winter is personified and appears in the image of a Russian beauty - a welcome guest.
The work of N. Nekrasov is filled with beautiful metaphors that will impress children’s imagination: puddles - “cold glass”, bullfinches - “pink apples”, snow - “white flies”:
- N. Nekrasov “Snowball” The snowball is fluttering and spinning, It’s white outside. And the puddles turned into cold glass. Where the finches sang in the summer, Look today! - Like pink apples, there are bullfinches on the branches. The snow is cut up by skis, Like chalk, creaky and dry, And the red cat catches cheerful white flies.
In the poems of A. Pushkin and F. Tyutchev, an amazing image of a winter forest is created, which was also created by the winter sorceress:
- A. Pushkin (from the novel “Eugene Onegin”) Here is the north, catching up with clouds, Breathed, howled - and here comes the sorceress-winter, Came, crumbled into clumps, Hung on the branches of the oaks, Lay down in wavy carpets Among the fields around the hills. The river has leveled the river like a plump veil; The frost has flashed, and we are glad for the pranks of Mother Winter.
- F. Tyutchev Bewitched by the Enchantress of Winter, the forest stands, And under the snowy fringe, motionless, silent, it shines with a wonderful life. And he stands, bewitched, neither dead nor alive - enchanted by a magical dream, all entangled, all shackled with a light downy chain... Whether the winter sun throws its scythe ray on him - nothing will tremble in him, he will all flare up and sparkle with dazzling beauty.
In the poems of the classics, the winter forest appears in its dazzling beauty

Masterpieces of Soviet poetry
The poems of Soviet poets are immortal classics, on which more than one generation of children has grown up. Many of them colorfully describe an elegant Christmas tree:
- Agniya Barto “Christmas tree, Christmas tree!” - Olechka is happy. Olya really likes the beautiful Christmas tree. How beautiful is her outfit - Beads and firecrackers! Olya and the Christmas tree are standing, like two girlfriends. Olya also took her mother’s beads from the table and hung them on herself - It’s fun in our house!
“Children really like the beautiful Christmas tree...”
- S. Marshak “Song about the Christmas tree” What grows on the Christmas tree? Cones and needles. Multi-colored balls do not grow on the Christmas tree. Gingerbread and flags do not grow on the Christmas tree, Nuts do not grow in golden paper. These flags and balloons have grown today for Russian children on New Year's holiday. In the cities of my country, In the villages and towns, So many lights have grown on the merry Christmas trees!
- S. Vysheslavtseva “Near the Christmas tree” Near the Christmas tree on New Year’s Day We dance, we dance. Children really like this beautiful Christmas tree. That's how she is - Slender, big! Cotton snow lies below. A star shines above. And on the branches are balls, colorful lanterns, birds, fish, flags made of colored paper.
Other New Year's poems feature cute forest characters:
- A. Barto It was in January, There was a Christmas tree on the mountain, And angry wolves were wandering around this tree. One day, at night, when the forest is so quiet, a wolf and a hare meet a wolf under the mountain. Who wants to fall into the clutches of a wolf in the New Year! The bunnies rushed forward and jumped onto the tree. They folded their ears and hung like toys. Ten little bunnies hang on the tree and are silent - they deceived the wolf. It was in January - He thought that there was a decorated Christmas tree on the mountain.
- B. Zakhoder “Animals celebrated the New Year” The animals celebrated the New Year. The animals led a round dance. Around a green tree. The Mole, the Hippopotamus, and even the evil Wolves danced! The Porcupine started dancing too - Thorny needles, And everyone - trembling, And everyone - squealing, And everyone - running away from the tree! Look: At least he’s good! - And he’s trembling with fear!.. - But you won’t get through me! - Said Che-re-pa-ha! “We’ll dance with a Turtle Step, but we’ll probably out-dance everyone!”
In B. Zakhoder's poem, animals celebrate the New Year and dance around the Christmas tree
There are also poems on the theme of snowflakes:
- A. Tvardovsky Whirling around easily and clumsily, Snowflake sat down on the glass. The snow was thick and white at night - The snow made the room light. The flying fluff powders a little, and the winter sun rises. Like every day, fuller and better, Fuller and better new year...
- Z. Alexandrova White snowflakes flew from behind the clouds, sat down on my palm to rest. I’ll dress up like a snowflake for the holidays, I’ll spin around in a dance under the fluffy Christmas tree.
At New Year's parties, girls often appear in the form of snowflakes, so poems about them will always be relevant
In the poem by Z. Alexandrova, the image of Santa Claus walking through the forest is created. And in the work of E. Tarakhovskaya, he appears as a funny naughty man and is compared to a small child:
- Z. Alexandrova “Santa Claus” Santa Claus walked through the forest, past maples and birches, past clearings, past stumps, walked through the forest for eight days. He walked through the forest - decorated the Christmas trees with beads. This night on New Year's Eve He will take them down for the boys. There is silence in the clearings, the yellow moon is shining. All the trees are in silver, Hares are dancing on the mountain, Ice is sparkling on the pond, New Year is coming.
- E. Tarakhovskaya “Father Frost” He grew to my eyebrows, He climbed into my felt boots. They say he is Santa Claus, and he plays pranks like a little boy. He ruined the water tap in our washbasin. They say he has a beard, but he plays pranks like a little boy. He draws Palm trees, stars, skiffs on glass. They say he is a hundred years old, but he plays pranks like a little boy.
It turns out that Santa Claus likes to play pranks - he draws patterns on glass and climbs into felt boots
Soviet classics, like their predecessors, again animate winter - it sews dresses for Christmas trees, dresses oak trees in fur, and wraps tree stumps.
- O. Vysotskaya "Master Winter" Winter is in a hurry, busy: Wrapped in snow All the bumps and stumps, Benches and haystacks. Mittens turn white on the branches of birch trees, So that they don’t catch a cold, To withstand the frost. Winter told the oak tree to throw on lush fur, put a fur coat on the spruce - covered everyone with warmth. She fixed the ice in the river for a long time and reliably. You can walk along the river. Come join us, New Year!
This beautiful winter envelops the earth in a blanket of snow and gives the trees white fur.
- Korney Chukovsky Before the winter holiday For the green Christmas tree I sewed a white dress myself without a needle. The Christmas tree shook off the white snow with a bow and stood more beautiful than anyone else in a green dress. Green suits her, Elka knows this. How well dressed she is for the New Year!
The poem by V. Berestov is very interesting - the child reading it imagines himself as a Christmas ball:
- V. Berestov “Christmas ball” Lily of the valley blooms in May, Aster blooms in autumn. And in winter I bloom on the Christmas tree every year. It sat on the shelf for a whole year. Everyone forgot about me. And now I’m hanging on the tree, Little by little ringing. The entire tree to the top was decorated with toys! Get up in a round dance! Happy New Year!
Why shouldn't a child imagine himself as a beautiful ball decorating a New Year tree?

About the New Year
New Year is the main calendar holiday that occurs at the moment of transition from the last day of the year to the first day of the next year. Celebrated by many peoples in accordance with the accepted calendar.
The beginning of the year on January 1 was established by the Roman ruler Julius Caesar in 46 BC. In Ancient Rome, this day was dedicated to Janus - the god of choice, doors and all beginnings. The month of January got its name in honor of the god Janus, who was depicted with two faces: one looking forward and the other looking back.
From January 1st, the New Year was first celebrated in 153 BC. e., since from this day the Roman consuls took office. In 46 BC. e. The Roman commander and high priest Gaius Julius Caesar introduced his new calendar (“Julian”) and finally approved the beginning of the year from January 1, 45 BC. e. It was under Caesar, under the influence of astrology, that the New Year's holiday acquired the independent meaning of a time mark for the beginning of the year and, thus, marked the beginning of the civil year.
- January 1 - New Year according to the Gregorian, Julian and New Julian calendars.
- Between January 21 and February 21 (one of the days) is Chinese New Year (China).
- March 21 or 22 - Iranian New Year Navruz (Iran, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan).
- April 14 is Bengali New Year (Bangladesh).
- 163 days after Passover (no earlier than September 5 and no later than October 5) - Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah (Israel).
Old New Year is a New Year's holiday celebrated according to the Julian calendar. From 1901 to 2100, the difference between the Gregorian and Julian calendars is 13 days and, in accordance with the Julian calendar, the New Year falls on the night from December 31 (January 13) to January 1 (January 14)[8], and is essentially a historical echo of the change of chronology. Celebrated in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Switzerland and some other countries.
When celebrating the New Year, a variety of pyrotechnic products are actively used: firecrackers, sparklers and, in the last decade, fireworks, rockets, Roman candles, firecrackers large and small, etc.
The use of pyrotechnic products to celebrate the New Year began in Asian countries, and, first of all, in China, since it was believed that the loud noise and bright light produced by gunpowder explosions could drive away evil spirits. Later this tradition spread throughout the world.
The most famous tradition in different countries, formed due to superstition, is the lighting of fireworks for the New Year in China, as well as the explosions of firecrackers, which do not stop throughout the entire first New Year's day. At the same time, gunpowder itself, firecrackers and fireworks were invented not so long ago, but the tradition of creating noise and din when celebrating the New Year is attributed to a thousand-year history. It all started with a legend that on New Year's Eve, evil spirits, expelled from different places, look for a new shelter, and having found a suitable house, they settle in it and throughout the coming year they cause various troubles to the owners. The noise during the New Year is intended to drive away evil from the house.
Currently, many capitals of the world or even individual countries spend millions of dollars to organize a pyrotechnic show for the New Year.
The use of pyrotechnic products in large quantities, including by minors, creates a potentially fire-hazardous and traumatic situation, therefore New Year's Eve is considered the most stressful period of the year in the work of fire-fighting and rescue services.
New Year's Resolutions (English: New Year's Resolutions - "New Year's vow, oath") - a New Year's tradition, widespread mainly in English-speaking society, a promise by an idealistic person to start a new life, to break with bad habits, taken on January 1. Despite the humorous nature, the promise is often made in writing in a diary or in the presence of friends.

Works of modern poets
The repertoire of the matinee will be perfectly complemented by works of contemporary poets. Among them there are poems with bright unusual images: New Year - the captain of the ship, a snowflake - a bird, New Year changing its colors.
- I. Gamazkova “New Year” White-white Sail of snow And a boat made of ice... New Year Flies from the sky Unnoticed, As always. Old Year Greybeard He takes over at the helm. With new happiness! Happy New Year! Happy birthday, Earth!
- T. Shorygina A light snowflake sat on my mitten and ruffled its icy back like a bird. I froze quietly, so as not to fly away. Soon my mitten will become white and white.
Snowflakes are indeed somewhat similar to birds.
- L. Yakovlev “What color is New Year?” What color is New Year? Cheerful as a red cat! It is silver, like a snowball, And multi-colored, like a bag... With beautiful gifts - With a car, a doll, paints! It is sunny in color, like next summer!
Children love poems with humor, and they will cause delight and tenderness among adult guests of the holiday:
- I. Aseeva One, two, three, four, The apartment smells like a Christmas tree. Three, four, five and six - They won’t force you to eat porridge. Five, six, seven, eight - We ask for a pie today, Because - nine, ten - Mom and Dad are kneading the dough!
- T. Bokova "I'm celebrating the New Year" Dad is decorating the Christmas tree. He said that he allows all children not to go to bed at all that night. This can happen once a year, only once, on New Year’s Eve. But imagine how deliberately, out of spite, your mouth yawns. I look after my apartment. I’m waiting for an answer to the question: “How does Santa Claus bring us gifts in this world? How will he get to Yolka? Where is his magic path? I will fight with myself, To wait, not to fall asleep!
Many parents allow their children to stay up on New Year's Eve, but they still fall asleep
Santa Claus in modern poems also appears as a naughty man:
- A. Brodsky “Snow Everywhere” There is snow everywhere, houses in the snow - Winter brought it. She hurried to us quickly, brought us bullfinches. From dawn to dawn, bullfinches glorify winter. Santa Claus, like a little one, dances near the rubble. And I, too, can dance like that in the snow.
In other works, the authors talk about what the New Year is and where it comes from:
- E. Mikhailova “What is New Year?” What is New Year? It's the other way around: Christmas trees grow in the room, Squirrels don't gnaw the cones, Hares are next to the wolf on a prickly tree! The rain is also not easy, On New Year's Day it is golden, It shines as much as it can, It doesn't wet anyone, Even Grandfather Frost doesn't sting anyone's nose.
- A. Usachev "Where does the New Year come from" Is New Year falling from the sky? Or is it coming from the forest? Or does the New Year come to us from a snowdrift? He probably lived like a snowflake on some star, or hid like a feather in Frost's beard? He climbed into the refrigerator to sleep, Or into the hollow of a squirrel... Or into an old alarm clock. Did he climb under the glass? But a miracle always happens: The clock strikes twelve... And from nowhere the New Year comes to us!
Perhaps the New Year flies from the sky - in any case, for children it represents a miracle
And the next poem is a little sad: the author regrets the passing year:
- Elena Grigorieva “Old Year” Everyone is, of course, waiting for the New Year, but I feel sorry for the Old Year. After all, he will completely leave us! I even felt sad. And I’m already used to him, I became friends with him over the course of a year. I became friends with him because I learned to swim, because I saw the sea for the first time, and because my little sister was born. I really felt sad that the old year is passing.
Perhaps some of the children will want to be sad about the passing old year, because it brought so many good things
