Quiz for 2nd – 3rd grade students

Presenter: Hello guys. Our meeting today will be dedicated to a very beautiful time of year - winter.

Station 1. Poetic.

First, listen to N. Knushevitskaya’s poem “Winter.”

"Winter"

In soft white boots

Winter has come to the window,

She knocked: “Here I am!”

Did you miss me?

I was in a hurry to get here

Covered the whole earth with down,

Put the animals to bed:

And the bear and the frogs.

I sewed white coats

A whole army of bunnies.

Red fox fur coat -

Here she is in all her glory.

Glazed the pond and river,

The stoves flooded everywhere.

That's how much there was to do,

It's your turn now.

Early tomorrow morning

Get your skis and sleds

And shiny skates

To run the race,

And you need carrots too

Find one for the snow woman.

Prepare your cheeks -

Tomorrow I will paint them for you.

Save the squealing and laughter -

I'll be waiting for everyone on the hill!

(N. Knushevitskaya)
