    New periodic solutions to the problem of three and four identical vortices on a sphere are specified. These solutions correspond to choreographies of vortices on a plane. We also describe different methods to construct choreographies for an arbitrary number of vortices. The most interesting methods are based on splitting of the static symmetrical vortex configurations on a sphere.
