The paints are terribly tired today:
They drew a rainbow in the sky.
Admire the colors!
Having mastered the basic colors and their shades, you can move on to the colors of the rainbow. In order, these colors sound like this - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple.
This knowledge will definitely come in handy for the child sooner or later, so do not miss this moment when making a plan of activities with the baby.
Remembering the colors of the rainbow is not difficult at all.
It is enough to learn one or several mnemonic phrases:

The first letter of each word of this phrase corresponds to the first letter in the name of the color.
Poems about the rainbow:
(S. Marshak)
Spring sun with rain
Building a rainbow together
- Seven-colored semicircle
Of seven wide arcs.
There is no sun and rain
Not a single nail
And built in no time
Celestial gate.
Rainbow arch
Burned brightly
Decorated the grass
Has bloomed the blue.
The rainbow-arc shines.
The meadows are visible through it.
And beyond the most distant meadow -
A plowed field.
And beyond the field through the fog -
Only sea-ocean
Only the sea is blue
With the white foam of the surf.
Here from the rainbow gates
A round dance comes out to us,
Runs out from under the arch
He brings gifts to the whole earth.
And what is not here!
First leaf and first color,
The first mushroom and the first thunder
Silver glistening rain
The days are growing and the nights are
Every day is shorter.
Hey guys hurry up
Come out, out the doors
To fields, forests and parks
Receive your gifts!
Hurry, Hurry
Run out the doors
Barefoot on the grass
Walk straight to the sky.
Okay!
Okay!
On the rainbow
By the iris
Along a color arc
On one leg
Riding down the rainbow -
And somersault to the ground!
The paints are terribly tired today:
They drew a rainbow in the sky.
Worked for a long time on a rainbow of paint
The rainbow came out beautiful, like in a fairy tale.
All multi-colored - that's beauty!
Admire the colors:
Red
Red radish has grown in the garden
Nearby there are tomatoes - red children.
There are red tulips on the window
The red banners outside the window are burning.
Orange
Orange fox
All night carrots dream -
Looks like a fox tail:
Orange too.
Yellow
The yellow sun gazes at the ground,
The yellow sunflower follows the sun.
Yellow pears hang on the branches.
Yellow leaves are flying from the trees.
Green
We have green onions growing
And the cucumbers are green
And outside the window is a green meadow
And the houses are whitewashed.
Every house with a green roof
And a cheerful gnome lives in it
In new green trousers
From maple leaves.
Blue
My doll has blue eyes,
And the sky above us is still doves.
It is as blue as a thousand eyes.
We look at the sky, and the sky at us.
Blue
There is an island in the blue sea
The path to the island is long.
And a flower grows on it -
Blue-blue cornflower.
Violet
The violet violet is tired of living in the forest.
I'll pick it off and bring it to my mom on her birthday.
She will live with purple lilacs
On the table in a beautiful vase near the window.
(K. Chukovsky)
Rainbow arc
Don't let it rain
Come on sunshine
Bell.
So run after me
To green meadows
Where over the blue river
A rainbow-arc has risen.
We'll climb a rainbow
Let's play in the clouds and from there down the rainbow on a sled, on skates.
The sequence of colors that a person sees in a rainbow are the colors of the optical spectrum, from red, the light with the longest wavelength, to violet, the shortest wavelength of the spectrum visible to the human eye. This is why the top color is red and the bottom color is purple. In fact, a rainbow represents a huge number of transitions from one shade to another, but a person sees only seven primary colors.

There are not so many people in the world who easily remember everything and never complain about memory.
We have to remember something. We use pieces of paper, notebooks, cell phones, computers, etc. But often you can use mnemonic techniques to memorize information.
Mnemonics or mnemonics- This is the art of memorization, a set of special techniques that facilitate memorization.
Special phrases or verses are used - memos.
Below is a collection of memos collected on the Internet. Memories from various fields of knowledge: physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, Russian.
Memories
The most famous memorials are about the colors of the rainbow. Let's start with them.
Rainbow
To memorize the sequence of rainbow colors, there are mnemonic phrases, the first letters of each word in which correspond to the first letters of the color name. Looking down the rainbow, from the outside to the inside of the arc:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple.
The most famous memory of this kind is the phrase:

Having become a hunter and having hunted for about forty years, I repeatedly went on a pheasant hunt. All these were hunts with a "gravity" or a paddock, not particularly prey and interesting. But six years ago, my elder friend, knowing that I had long wanted to get a dog for hunting a duck, gave me a New Year's Eve a Drathhaar puppy named Graf. In the first year of hunting with the Count, I decided to go for a pheasant. And now there was no limit to the delight of the hunt. It was a great, beautiful hunt! Since then, for six years now, I have become an avid pheasant. During my first season with the dog, I caught more pheasants than in all the previous forty years, since there were enough licenses.
It is difficult to find any other hunting bird in our country that would be as bright and beautifully colored as a pheasant. The roosters' outfit is especially beautiful: they have golden, dark green, orange and purple colors in their plumage. On the glossy dark head of the rooster, there is a tuft and rather large red fields around the eyes. There is a ring of white feather on the neck. On the top of the back and neck there are greenish feathers with a blue tint against a general golden background. The back is golden-red, and each feather is decorated with a black triangular spot. The long tail is in tune with the back, and at its base there are copper-red feathers with purple and purple tints, decorated with an intricate pattern. Chickens, as a rule, are colored brownish-yellow with streaks.
The permanent habitat of pheasants is impassable blackthorn bushes, dense thickets of forest belts, high dense grass, weeds, especially clogged with tumbleweeds, dense reeds, vineyards, fields sown with cereals. And these birds are very fond of summer cottages. The main food for pheasants is insects, berries, weed and cereal seeds. However, pheasants are not very picky in the feed. In summer, they prefer locusts, beetles, caterpillars, snails, and can peck at both a lizard and a mouse. In autumn, seeds and berries take the main place in their diet. Once, in a very harsh snowy winter, I saw pheasants hunting starlings. But the main thing for this bird is that there is always water nearby.
The pheasant flies very badly - at most it can fly 300-400 meters, so it always tries to hide or flee (and pheasants run just fine). This explains the pheasant's craving for "strong" places, inconvenient for walking and shooting. However, a pheasant can also go out to feed into the practically bare steppe, but it is quite difficult to catch him by surprise there - at the first signs of danger, he swiftly runs away into the saving thickets. So hunting this bird without a dog is quite difficult and cannot be as successful as hunting other game. For a good pheasant hunt, you just need a dog with a very fast search (otherwise the pheasants will run away into the thicket without firing a shot), hardy and not very sensitive to thorny vegetation. Almost all breeds of cops are suitable for this, but preference should be given to wire-haired and long-haired dogs, which are more reliably protected from thorns. Drathhaars are good in this respect.
Under a skillful dog, pheasants sink and hide, allowing the cop to make a stance on them, and the hunter to come up and get ready to fire. The pheasant takes off noisily and quickly, as if it is shooting itself out of the bushes. This is understandable - after all, he is in such a thicket where it is impossible to really flap his wings, and his jumps sometimes reach one and a half meters in height. For all its bright color, the pheasant hides very skillfully. Approaching a dog standing on a rack, it is very difficult to see him even in the low and thin grass. When hunting pheasants, a dog is needed not only in order to raise the bird on its wing, but also in order to find and give a killed pheasant to the hunter or to catch a wounded animal. The fact is that a broken pheasant often falls into such thickets that it is simply impossible to find it yourself.
As for the wounded animals, especially those with intact legs, it is generally unrealistic to catch such animals without a dog. The wounded pheasants, barely touching the ground, turn to flight with tremendous speed and instantly disappear into the thickets. A wounded pheasant also has the ability to hide and not emit a smell. Sometimes hunters complain that they seem to have knocked down a pheasant, but the dog cannot find it. You just need to wait 10-15 minutes and again let the dog search for the wounded animal - just after this time, the pheasant will "smell" again. For some reason, it is believed that the pheasant is quite tough on the wound, and that is why it gives a large number of wounded animals. But from my point of view, this is not the case. This is the opinion of hunters who shoot a pheasant with a large fraction - the 5th or even the 3rd. And those who hunt without a dog - because the pheasant flies out unexpectedly from them, and they shoot in a hurry. To avoid wounds, I shoot the pheasant with small shot (usually number 7 or 8). Yes, and I shoot from under the counter of my Count. After 6 years of joint hunting, I know for sure by his behavior and posture, "on whom he stands" - whether it is a quail, or a pheasant or a partridge, and in which direction the bird.
The golden bird, the firebird, the royal game - as soon as the pheasant is not called, and now hardly anyone will refuse the opportunity to hunt him. Although the pheasant in our country, on the Kerch Peninsula of Crimea, appeared relatively recently, in the mid-70s of the last century. Then, on the initiative and under the guidance of my father, an experienced hunter Pyotr Ilyich Grishchenko, the Kerch city organization of hunters, then still UOOR, purchased pheasants for breeding in hunting grounds in the Kholodnaya Gora tract near Belogorsk. This unique pheasant nursery was created at the request of N.S. Khrushchev back in 1956. Those pheasants were released, having previously created comfortable conditions for the bird, on the Kerch land in the Maryevsky forest. From there, the pheasant gradually settled throughout the Kerch Peninsula, but the Maryevsky forest for a long time remained the main hunting ground for this beautiful bird. Some time ago, the Maryevsky forest was taken away from the Kerch hunters, and with it the pheasant hunt. It was then, four years ago, that the chairman of our society of hunters, Vladimir Puzikov, resumed raising and releasing pheasants in our hunting grounds.
Every year in our hunting farm, up to 3 thousand pheasant eggs are laid in incubators. Not every egg gives birth to a chick; many die in the process of feeding. By virtue of its natural character, a lot of pheasant dies in the aviary as well - it just beats against the nets and crossbars. Much disappears in the first days after release, as the aviary bird is poorly trained to look for food and water on its own. Predators also do their bit. In total, out of 3 thousand “potential pheasants”, about one and a half live up to the beginning of the hunting season. Young pheasants are released in forest belts or reeds, where there is food and water. But even there, the forces of the hunting community are equipped with artificial feeders and drinking bowls. The release of grown poultry is carried out twice a year. The first time - at the beginning of summer and the second time - two weeks before the start of the pheasant hunt. Quite a significant part of the birds survive the hunting season and the capricious Kerch winter, and in the spring they form pairs and bear offspring. Thus, there is a stable population on the peninsula, no different from a completely wild pheasant. Nevertheless, in the winter period, the pheasant must be fed. All the forest belts of our hunting grounds are equipped with feeders, which are constantly replenished with grain waste. Part of the grain is purchased, something is donated through sponsorship.
Growing a pheasant is a rather costly item for the budget of our hunting community. But the costs are paid off by hunting. Some uninformed people say that for the money spent on hunting, you can buy any meat of your choice. Note that I personally do not go hunting for meat. I go hunting for a shot and emotions, and, of course, in the end - for a beautiful trophy. And the very opening of the pheasant hunt in our lands is a holiday, people come to us in Kerch to hunt for this bird from all over the Crimea and not only. It is so much emotions, meetings and communication! Only for the sake of them you can breed this beautiful bird.
It is definitely worth mentioning that hunting for a semi-wild bird released into the field at the beginning of the season is practically no different from hunting a wild pheasant. In the wild, pheasant juveniles quickly adapt, run wild and become rather cautious. Although right after the enclosure, young pheasants practically do not know how to fly and prefer to simply hide from the hunter. When hunting with a dog, these are at first easy prey. But, according to my observations, after a couple of weeks the pheasant becomes a full-fledged wild bird and is no different from one born in nature.
The younger the pheasants, the better they can withstand the dog's stance, the less space they run and the faster they rise. Old males almost always flee, raising their tail vertically, and take off only when they are practically overtaken by a dog or when at least a small stream, gully or other obstacle appears in their path. The pheasant rises from the ground almost always vertically, with a strong flapping of its wings: the males - with a cry “Whoa! oh-gok! ”, and females - with a weak clucking. In our hunting farm, hunting is not practiced, when a pheasant is released per day or on the day of hunting - this is considered unsportsmanlike (it practically turns out that this is still a poultry). In general, I like to shoot a pheasant at the end of the season, when it sheds well and has a beautiful long tail. I love it when a rooster leads a dog - you watch and admire this fight between a cop and a bird. It is no coincidence that many, along with the woodcock, consider the pheasant, especially in strong lands, one of the most beautiful objects for hunting with a cop.
And in conclusion, one of the cases on the hunt. My friend and I walked along the forest belt, I on the one hand, he on the other, and Graf worked in the forest belt itself. And, naturally, he did not see what was happening ahead. And there, in a gap in the forest belt, a hundred or one hundred and fifty meters away, a flock of partridges was sitting. Seeing us from afar, the birds rose and flew away. When after a while we came to this place, my drathaar clearly stood on the counter. I began to explain to him with laughter and irony that these were partridges, they flew away, but the smell remained. He did not respond to my call. Then I kicked the grass in the place where he was looking to show that it was empty. And, oh horror! From this small patch of grass two healthy roosters flew out. So much for the pheasant hunt!
Russian hunting magazine, July 2015
1983In order to remember some meaningless sequence or composition of something, people have long used mnemonic phrases or memos. So I decided to make a complete list of such phrases. So:
- TO every O hotnik F wants Z nat, G de WITH walking F adhan(the first letters correspond to the colors of the spectrum).
Another variant: "How One Day Jacques the Bell-ringer City Broke the Lantern". - What do I know about circles(the number of letters in each word corresponds to the value of Pi - 3.1416).
Another variant: "This I know and remember perfectly -" pi "many signs are superfluous to me, in vain"(respectively 3.14159265358).
And here is the pre-revolutionary phrase: "Whoever jokingly and soon wants Pi to know the number already knows" (3,1415926536). - OVAL- a hint for memorizing the four largest rivers in Russia - O bi, V olgi, A mura and L eny.
- In St. Petersburg, behind the Vitebsk railway station, there are a number of parallel streets - Ruzovskaya, Mozhaiskaya, Vereiskaya, Podolskaya, Serpukhovskaya, Bronnitskaya and Bataysky lane. It is impossible to remember their order if you do not use the taxi driver's passphrase: "Once ve we can but ver go under scrap gray dtsu bro childish ba lerins? "
And here are some more phrases invented by taxi drivers:- "Squirrel Will Just Dry Loaf" (Bel city, Bud apeshtskaya, Boo arrest, Etc azhskaya and WITH ofiysk).
- Prospectuses - Science, North, Lunacharsky, Enlightenment, Suzdalsky gave birth to an unforgettable phrase: “On the North e Moon a Pros then Sus it was ".
- Prospectuses of Culture, Rudnev, Artists, Yesenin, Engels - "Every Innovator Wants to Experiment Daily".
- In order for children to be able to memorize the sequence of Latin letters on the chessboard (ABCDEFGH), the phrase is used: "Artist Bimu Give a Compass, His Surname - Zhe-Ash".

About the symbolism of color in various cultures, religion and heraldry.
The parade opens ...
1. White
Light, glowing in a transparent, colorless (as opposed to blue - dark, opaque). Clean as opposed to dirty.
Uncertainty and openness: the heroes of fairy tales want to see, to see the "white light". "White space" represented tax-free land, "white iron" - free from impurities, pure iron.
In the language of the divine, white is the color of divine wisdom. In mundane language, it symbolizes purity, chastity, peace, virginity, light, and since it “does not hide another color”, innocence and truth. According to the symbolism accepted by Catholics, it means innocence, joy and simplicity.
In the language of Catholic symbolism, transparent (cristalline) expresses the idea of immaculate purity and clarity.
White magic is magic that uses its power for good, often for healing, or against evil and black magic.
White is most often associated with religious practices. Sacred horses in Greece, Rome, the Celts and Germans were white. In some areas of Southeast Asia, white elephants are considered sacred. The expression "white elephant" refers to large and impressive but useless acquisitions and comes from ancient Siam (Thailand). To get rid of the objectionable courtier, the king of Siam gave him a white elephant. The cost of feeding an elephant quickly ruined the courtier.
The white lily stands for purity and is a symbol of the Virgin Mary. The white rose also symbolizes virginity. In the ancient Roman temples of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth and the fire that burned in it, the vestal priestesses who served there took a vow of virginity and wore white robes.
In the Christian church, white robes were worn for the consecration of churches. This is the color of baptism and communion, the holidays of Christmas, Easter and Ascension, as well as holidays in honor of saints who are not martyrs.
In the Orthodox Church, it is used in all divine services from Easter to Trinity Day, even at funerals.
The white flag is synonymous with surrender, truce, and in a broader sense - peace and goodwill. This custom is believed to have come from ancient times, when, in order to demonstrate peaceful intentions and thus avoid an attack, a white scroll or its symbolic representation - a white matter on a pole - was carried.
It also means blindness and absolute silence. In the East, it is the color of mourning. It was believed that if you wear black clothes, then the soul of the deceased will not see anything, hence it follows that white in mourning is light, vision, life (after life). Ghosts, ethereal creatures are usually depicted as whitish.
It also means cowardice. During wartime, in particular during the First World War, French people who avoided military service were sometimes given or sent white feathers.
It has been noticed that in cockfights the best fighting qualities are shown by roosters with scarlet and black colors. They pluck the feathers from the tails of their more cowardly white relatives, and these feathers have come to represent cowardice.
