IX. Lesson summary

A dramatization (or an expressive reading by the Fairy Tales) of S. Marshak’s poem “About one student and 6 units.”
The Fairy Tale Fairy asks the final question to the class: “What is the role of magic numbers in fairy tales?”
The Number Fairy and the senior school consultants check the work or count the “Winner” tokens and announce the winner.

Do you know the magical meaning of numbers in fairy tales? In oral folk art and works of authorship, the numbers 1, 3, 7 are often found, but do they carry any semantic meaning or are they not filled with any meaning? symbolic meaning?

In the article:

The meaning of numbers in fairy tales is the number 1

Numbers surround every person every day. We see them in phone numbers, bus numbers, bank cards and so on. Since ancient times, people have endowed numbers with special magical meaning.

Kuzma Skorobogaty

But what did our ancestors think about certain numbers and what sacred meaning did they fill with them? If we go back to oral folk art, then we will see that all fairy tales, epics and legends were permeated with numerical symbolism. The number 1 appears very often in fairy tales. For example, there is one and only Kuzma, the soon-rich one, and one little orphan, Kroshechka-Khavroshechka.

Often the number 1 symbolizes one person, the main character, who will have to fight circumstances, his fears, fictional or real villains. Such a figure is very holistic, self-sufficient. This becomes clear if we turn to numerological meaning of number 1 and we will see that it is identified with unity, the concentration of power in one source.

Symbolic meaning of number 2

Geese-swans

How often does the number 2 appear in fairy tales? For example, in the fairy tale “Geese-Swans” there was a daughter and a son (two children), in “Morozko” there was a stepdaughter and a daughter, in the fairy tale “About the Lazy and the Zealous” the main characters were two daughters. Almost always, this figure is a symbol of pairing, showing the reader two completely opposite characters.

Wolf and seven kids

If we turn to numerology, we will find that such a number in fairy tales could symbolize holiness, intelligence, and good health. This figure meant the victory of wisdom over evil.

Number 12

The number 12 is very important in numerology. This figure is mentioned in ancient mythology, in the Old and New Testaments, in various religions. Among the most common tales that mention this number is "The Twelve Months."

- What's the matter

- What's that noise?

- And why do numbers

- Boom?

It was explained to the learned Owl that numbers want to know the name of the kingdom to which they belong.

Without hesitation, the Scientist Owl answered:
