Animal life in autumn in the forest. Senior age.

Target: develop interest in objects of nature, expand the horizons of children and ideas about changes in animal life in autumn, develop speech, enrich the vocabulary of children, develop the grammatical structure of speech. Cultivate a sense of caring animals.

1. What season is it now?

Autumn is early, gold or late?

What is the name of the month?

2. Do you think we people have a good life autumn? (children's answers)

There is a warm house, clothes, food

How is life in forest autumn animals, How do you think? (children's answers)

3. Today I will tell you what they are doing animals in the forest in autumn.

Bear. He, dressed in a warm coat, clumsy, clumsy, prepares for winter from summer, stores fat, prepares a cozy lair. The bear is afraid of frost, and therefore sleeps all winter in a den. With sharp claws, he tears off strips of bark from pine and spruce and mixes them with moss. And he prepares such a soft bed for himself in the pit. It curls up and sleeps until spring.

The hedgehog prepares the litter in its own way. He rolls head over heels on the grass and accumulates foliage on his needles. Then he carries his mattress of leaves to his hole under the roots of the tree. He does not stock up for the winter. When the cold comes, he climbs into his house and sleeps until spring.

But the squirrel dries mushrooms, collects cones, nuts, acorns - everything will come in handy in winter. Squirrels are very economic. She has in there are pantries in the forest. Find a nut, bury it in a hole under a tree. If he finds another, he puts it in the same hole. In such closets different trees The squirrel makes a lot of reserves, it doesn’t even eat itself during the winter. Very hardworking.

All day long I've been jumping autumn is a lot of work

Choose a hollow for the winter so that it is warm in it,

Cover it with a carpet - warm fluff, soft moss.

Day-to-day I'm jumping on I collect soft moss in the forest,

And if I meet a nut, I’ll jump into the pantry with him!

Well, if I find a mushroom in a clearing, then come in the winter, I will certainly treat you.

Sheet autumn flies around, falling leaves are pouring from the branches.

Look, look, I'm changing my outfit.

It was red, now the fur coat is thicker and lighter,

The tail is silvery-gray, fluffy.

But prepared differently. autumn to the cold animals who do not fit into hibernation and do not make stocks for themselves. What do you think about what animals in question ? (fox, hare, wolf, boar, deer).

To all of them generous autumn gives warm fluffy coats. In such fur coats you can survive the cold.

Who changes coats? (fox, hare)

The fox changes his fur coat for a more fluffy, beautiful, warm one. Thick hair appears on the paws, the tail becomes fluffy. In summer, the fox has a lot of food. These are frogs, and lizards, and mice, and chicks. But in winter, only mice save the fox from hunger. (A pre-prepared child makes a small message about fox life in the forest)

The wolf also needs a fluffy tail. He sleeps right on the snow in winter and covers his nose and paws with his tail. The wolf does not change the color of his coat, but his coat becomes thicker. And the wolf does not make reserves, the strong help him survive quick legs, sharp teeth.

Pro wolf life in the forest Artem will tell us (the child prepared a story about the life of a wolf in the forest)

The hardest thing in forest in autumn and winter who do you think?

Of course, a rabbit. The hare does not have his own house, he hides wherever he has to, he is afraid of everything. And he has a lot of enemies. Saves his fur coat inconspicuous. Gray in summer and white in winter. It is not by chance that the eyes are slanted; the hare sees in front, behind and on the sides. Sensitive but the ears also help out the hare. The hare feeds at night, it's safer. Likes to eat branches of young trees.

Fizminutka "We are now in forest»

Children stand in a circle. One child in the center of the circle eyes closed. Children walk in a circle and say the following words:

Roma, we are now in forest we are calling you: AU, Roma, open your eyes, find out who called you.

The seasons play a huge role in the life of animals. For them, each season is a period of a certain activity. If a person can transfer his plans or change his lifestyle, then animals are not capable of this. Living by the rules of nature is in their blood.

Spring

How do animals celebrate spring?

Spring for all animals is a period of new life. After a long and calm winter, all representatives of the animal world begin to actively prepare for the onset of a hot summer.

Spring days in the life of animals are accompanied by a change of coat - from winter to summer. Squirrels change their gray skin to bright red. They are increasingly found in parks. Squirrels jump through the trees in search of food.

Chipmunks wake up after hibernation. Outwardly, it can be confused with a squirrel, but the main difference is the five dark stripes on the back. Chipmunks have been stocking up on food since winter, before they hibernate. Therefore, these animals, with the advent of spring, are not puzzled by the search for what they can get enough of.

But bears, also hibernating, do not care about what they will eat after long sleep. Therefore, in the spring they leave their dens in search of food.

For wolves, spring is the time when they breed. Little wolf cubs are in the den of their parents until such time as they have the sight to navigate well in space. Being small, they are very similar to foxes, only the tips of their tails are not white, but gray.

Hares begin to molt, changing their winter white skin to gray and less warm. Also, raccoon dogs, waking up after hibernation, change their color to a less remarkable one. The color of the coat is great importance. In winter, the skins are white, this makes it possible to merge with the snow-white cover of the earth if a predator hunts nearby. Gray wool in the summer also serves as a kind of camouflage.

In early spring, hedgehogs wake up, because in April they have to breed.

Summer

animal life in summer

Summer is the most favorable period in the life of animals. Long sunny days, warmth and abundance of food, of course, delight the animals. At this time of the year they are especially active. They are not yet preparing for winter, but they are preparing their offspring for the harsh period. Therefore, the animals are constant search food for their cubs to saturate them with useful substances and vitamins.

Herbivorous mammals sometimes go out of their habitats, because what they feed on grows everywhere. Fresh juicy leaves allow them to stock up on useful substances for the future.

For birds, summer is a feast, because they can find treats absolutely everywhere. Midges, worms, caterpillars, fish - all this is their food in summer time. Also, birds are assistants to gardeners. They eat all the pests that can destroy the crop.

Despite the fact that summer is the most active period in the life of animals, there is one exception. Gophers prefer to rest during these warm days. And for saturation life energy they go hunting at night.

The most active animals in summer period are squirrels, wolves, bears, various rodents. Also love this time: giraffes, camels, hyenas, cheetahs, monkeys and many others.

Autumn

Change in animal life in autumn

Autumn is the period of preparation for the winter cold. How they live the autumn, what they manage to do during this time, their life in the winter depends. Furry, feathered, predators - everyone should take this preparation responsibly, because their own life and the life of their offspring is at stake.

Insects are the first to feel the arrival of cold weather. They begin to build their own minks, seek shelter, which most often falls on fallen leaves or tree bark. Here they will spend the whole winter.

Butterflies have their own way of getting through cold period- they turn into pupae.

Toads, frogs, snakes and lizards are also among the first to hide. Some frogs live closer to bodies of water so that when cold weather sets in, they dive into them and sleep at the bottom until warm days return. But toads, on the contrary, hide on land. Their winter refuge is tree roots or rodent burrows.

forest animals in autumn period they begin to eat often and satisfyingly, because they need to accumulate a supply of substances and fat that will help them survive in severe frosts.

And squirrels, mice and moles begin to stock up on food for the future. They bring as many nuts, berries and cones as possible into the house.

Most animals go through a natural process of pre-winter molting. They again change their skins to warmer and less attractive ones.

Winter

How animals hibernate

As a rule, only those animals that are capable of hibernation hibernate. And those who are categorically afraid of the cold run away to the southern regions.

Animal life in winter time freezes. In autumn, everyone prepared for themselves the shelters in which they now live. The cold is not terrible for those warmly dressed in their skins: hares, squirrels, arctic foxes, foxes, wolves, elks and many others.

And some just fall asleep: raccoons, marmots, chipmunks, badgers, bears and other animals.

Mollusks burrow into the mud for the winter. Also minks prepared for themselves wasps, bumblebees, tarantulas.

Newts hide on the shore, in a thick layer of fallen leaves or branched tree roots.

Gophers, hamsters and jerboas prefer sleep in winter.

In late August - early September, ground squirrels, hamsters, jerboas climb into their deep holes and fall asleep.

In this lesson, the topic "The life of forest animals in winter" will be considered. During the lesson, we will get acquainted with the life of forest animals in the coldest time of the year - in winter. We will learn how the color of some animals changes, which animals hibernate.

Lesson: The life of forest animals in winter

Deep snow. Sleeping bears and badgers in their winter bedrooms, moths and bugs hid in dry leaves. Everything is quiet, only the voices of birds and animal tracks tell about the life of the winter forest. In winter, the color of the coat of animals changes - a hare, a fox. Some animals do not store food for the winter - this is a hedgehog, bear, badger. They spend time in deep snow. Animal fat - food supply, it lies under the skin, and when the animal does not eat, it penetrates into the blood, and it carries food to all organs. Let's complete the task. Name the animals that do not store food for the winter.

This is a bear, a hedgehog and a badger.

Imagine that you are flying in a helicopter and looking down at winter forest. We see some animals: an elk, a hare, a fox, and some animals do not, they sleep in their dens, while others hide in minks and hollows.

Let's look at animal tracks in the snow.

Figure 7 shows the footprint of a bear.

Figure 8 - traces of a hare.

Figure 9 - traces of a squirrel.

Figure 10 shows moose tracks.

Figure 11 - traces of a wild boar.

Let's look at the life of some animals in winter.

Moose use the snow as protection from the cold. Their bed is a hole in the snow, shaped like a trough. In winter, moose gather in groups, and if an elk is attacked, for example, by wolves, then the elk can kill the wolf with one blow.

The squirrel is protected from the cold by a warm coat and a nest. She builds a nest of twigs, and caulks the cracks with moss. In the nest even in very coldy always around 18o heat. And the stocks made help feed her. Usually the squirrel has not one house, but several: for sleep, for wintering, for breeding.

Beyond the city is a forest. On a hillock - a lonely birch, its branches hung down directly to snowdrifts. Interesting, what is there? And there is a mink of hedgehogs. In autumn, the hedgehog eats well, accumulates fat for the winter, so that there is something to eat in hibernation. For the winter, the hedgehog will settle down in a secluded place, curl up in a ball and sleep until spring.

The hare is moving around. In winter it is white, the fur coat is warm. He does not have a home, a hare sleeps in the snow. Hiding from enemies also in the snow. The hare does not make stocks, gnaws at the bark of young aspens, gnaws at thin twigs.

Very different life the animals in the forest. In winter, warm wool saves animals from frost, but it is very difficult to find food. Therefore, people who take care of forest dwellers in winter hang bunches of foliage harvested from summer, lay out hay and vegetables.

The next lesson will cover the topic "How to help the birds." On it, we will find out which birds remain to winter in our area, and which ones fly to us at the end of autumn.

GCD progress.

The lesson takes place in the form of a chain (live pictures) of fragments of children's performances that represent one or another animal of the forest and talk about all the changes in the life of this animal in the fall.

In the morning we go to the yard -

Leaves fall like rain

Rustle underfoot

And fly, fly, fly...

This is how the city welcomes autumn. Leaf fall. The rustle of leaves underfoot. What do you think happens in the autumn in the forest? Children tell, and pictures appear on the screen (golden birch, red maple, brown oak, green Christmas tree.

Why has the forest changed? (children's answers) on the screen the sun is not high above the forest, clouds, clouds)

Imagine that we are in the forest.

(The music of P.I. Tchaikovsky "The Seasons" - "November" sounds.)

And who is missing in our forest? (Animals) Let's think and dream up, what animals can we meet in the autumn forest?

Presentation slides appear after “live pictures” (children in costumes and animal masks) tell on behalf of animals what has changed in their lives with the arrival of autumn and how they are preparing for winter. (The exit of children in costumes and masks of animals is accompanied by a musical background, the children must guess by the sound which animal enters the forest clearing.)

"Bear"

Educator:

Huge, dressed in a warm fur coat, clumsy in appearance. A bear appears very cautiously in the clearing. He puts his paws with his fingers inside, that's why he is called clubfoot, and he steps so quietly that not one knot under his paws crunches.

Child in a bear mask

We bears live well in the summer. The forest treats us with mushrooms and berries. In the hollow you can find honey from wild bees, collect plant roots. We manage to accumulate fat over the summer, and we have enough of it for the whole winter. In autumn we are looking for a lair. The place must be reliable in order to sleep peacefully until spring. And in winter it will cover the top of the lair with a snow blanket, and it will be warm and quiet for me in it.

"Fox"

Against the musical background, a riddle-poem sounds:

Behind the trees, bushes

Flashed like a flame

Flashed, ran...

Is there smoke? No fire?

What do you?! It's a cheat Redhead,

Fluffy tail - that's beauty!

And her name is ... (fox).

Girl in a fox costume

And we, foxes, change our coats for warm and fluffy ones in winter. Thick hair grows on my paws, like warm boots. And what a fluffy tail becomes! My hole is in a dense forest, on the slope of a stream or river overgrown with bushes. In the summer I have plenty of food. And frogs, and lizards, and chicks, and field mice, in the forest I will feast on berries. In winter, only mice save from hunger.

"Hedgehog"

Educator:

Interestingly, D. Zuev told about the preparation of the hedgehog for winter: “The hedgehog prepares the litter in its own way. He rolls head over heels on the grass and pins leaves on his needles. A hedgehog will stand up in an armful and carry a sheet mattress into the nest. An implausible monster is coming, it is impossible to recognize: a shock of a shock!

Hedgehog boy:

I don't stock up for the winter. When the cold comes, I climb into my warm cozy house and sleep until the spring sun warms and the snow melts. I sleep, and I dream about how I wandered through the forest in the summer, catching mice and frogs, bugs and worms ...

Educator:

And the hedgehog ran to his cozy house, where he will spend the winter in hibernation.

The game "Who is superfluous?" (bear, fox, hedgehog)

Educator:

And I propose to solve the riddle:

small, white

Jump-jump through the woods

On the snow poke-poke.

"Hare"

Bunny boy:

Animals from enemies who are hiding where. Some are in hollows, others are in burrows. And I can't do any of that. And I have a lot of enemies. My nose, sensitive ears, quick legs and an inconspicuous fur coat save me. Gray in summer and white in winter. My slanting eyes are not accidental, I see with them not only what is in front, but also on the sides and even a little behind. A sensitive nose and ears have helped me more than once. Now I'm shedding: instead of gray, white fur grows. I feed at night - it's safer that way. I like to eat twigs, bark of young trees and shrubs.

Educator:

Listen to the next riddle

Who? Stores berries, mushrooms, nuts?

To eat them in winter, to listen to mother's tales.

"Squirrels"

Squirrel girls:

1. All day long I've been jumping

In autumn, there are not enough things to do:

Choose a hollow for the winter

Cover it with carpet

Warm down, soft moss.

Day by day I ride through the forest

Collecting soft moss

And a nut if I meet,

In the pantry with him I lope!

Well, if in the meadow

I'll find a mushroom

Then come in the winter -

I'll definitely dine

1. Autumn leaf flies around

Falling leaves are pouring from the branches

Look, look

I change my outfit.

I was red, now

The coat is thicker and lighter,

Tail silver -

Grey, fluffy.

"Wolf"

Educator:

A big fluffy tail is also needed for a wolf. When the wolf settles down to sleep right on the snow in winter, he covers his nose and paws with his fluffy tail. The wolf does not change the color of his coat. It remains gray, but the coat becomes thicker and fuller.

Boy in wolf costume

We, the wolves, do not stock up for the winter. Help us get through the difficult winter time strong legs and sharp teeth. We have to run a lot before we find prey, that's why people say about us that the legs feed the wolf.

The game "Who is superfluous?" (hare, squirrel, wolf)

Educator:

And so our walk comes to an end and it's time for us to return to kindergarten. But first, tell me for what purpose we made a walk in autumn forest? (To learn about the life of animals in autumn. How animals prepare for winter.)

D / game "Find a house."

Reflection.

Hello guys! What season is approaching us? That's right, winter! Now we have late fall and we're getting ready for winter, right? How can we as humans prepare for it? (We buy warm clothes, prepare preparations for the winter, insulate our houses, plug windows, etc.). Guys, do you know that the animals living in the forests are preparing for winter almost the same way as we are! They also make edible stocks, insulate their minks, change their summer skin for winter, and some animals generally spend the whole winter in deep sleep! Today we will talk with you how different animals prepare for the arrival of winter. You tell me something, and I tell you something!
The first animal that we will talk about today is the master of all woods bear. What do you know about him? (children's answers)
The main food of the bear is berries, nuts, roots, bulbs, ants, beetle larvae and fish. By this, he accumulates a fatty layer for the winter. brown bears arrange a lair for themselves in a hidden, inaccessible place. Most often, under the root of a twisted tree or in a windbreak. In November, the bears climb up there and fall asleep. Bears sleep restlessly. If something disturbs them, they can abandon the lair and build another. In the bear's den, cubs are born, usually 1-2, rarely 3. They are very small, the size of a mitten. Mother bear feeds them with milk for 8 months. and even when she sleeps in winter.

The next animal we will talk about is the lynx. The lynx does not hibernate. Among all representatives of the cat family, the lynx is best adapted to the cold. She moves superbly in deep snow, climbs trees. Favorite prey of lynxes are hares, black grouse, hazel grouses. Sometimes she attacks wild boar cubs, in a hungry winter she can also feed on small rodents. In winter, elks especially get from the lynx, when it is difficult for these long-legged animals to move along the deep and loose snow. By winter, the lynx's coat becomes thick, fluffy and soft, and the lynx's paws are heavily pubescent so as not to feel the cold.

Hare. As we know, before the onset of winter, the hare changes its gray skin to white. In winter they feed on bark, small branches of aspen, willow, birch. In winter, a fallen tree can become a real hare dining room, where animals visit every day until they gnaw all the bark. They have no permanent home. In extreme cold, they hide under snow-covered bushes.

Hedgehog. By cold weather, hedgehogs need to accumulate fat, and in autumn, hedgehogs have little prey. Worms hide in the ground, Nimble lizards hide. It is difficult to find beetles and frogs. In clear autumn days The hedgehog prepares a warm nest for the winter. At night and during the day it drags dry leaves and soft forest moss into the hole. IN hibernation hedgehog spends more than six months. At this time, he does not eat anything and does not move. He sleeps curled up in a den, under a deep snowdrift, as if under a thick, fluffy blanket. And he sleeps like this all winter, until the spring sun.

Squirrel. Many rodents also make winter stocks. Squirrels that sleep in winter only in very severe frosts need capital stocks. Unlike many other animals, squirrels share their reserves. In autumn they hide acorns and nuts in forest floor, in hollows, ground. Not only the hostess herself, but also any other squirrel can get them from there. They also store mushrooms in a special way: they string them on tree branches or put them into forks between branches. By winter, the fur coat of this animal becomes very soft and fluffy, and the color is grayish. She builds her nest on tall spruce or pine trees. Inside the nest - soft grass, moss, wool balls. In severe frosts, the squirrel does not crawl out of its hollow, it may even fall asleep.

Foxes and wolves. These predators certainly do not sleep. By winter, these animals' coat becomes thicker. In winter, wolves form large packs. Their victims are wild boars, hares, roe deer. And foxes attack smaller animals - hares, small rodents, birds. Burrows are usually dug in groves, on the slopes of hills and ravines.

Beavers. In autumn, the family of beavers is busy preparing food. Alone, and sometimes together, beavers easily fell aspen and willow. They build strong houses for themselves. The entrance to it is always arranged under water so that the enemy does not get close. In winter, it is warm inside the beaver's dwelling, the temperature is above zero.

Hamsters. With the approach of autumn, hamsters begin to actively arrange pantries, preparing for winter. And most arrange them right in the mouth, where they hide the food behind the cheeks. These animals are rightfully considered the most thrifty.

Elk. They live in the forests. Closer to autumn, when lingonberries and blueberries ripen, moose love to eat them right with twigs, they also love mushrooms, they even look for them on purpose. In winter, the elk gnaws on the bark of aspen, mountain ash and willow. At the end of autumn, he sheds his horns, and by the spring new ones grow in him. They do not prepare a permanent home. It is difficult for them in winter, when the snow flooring is very deep, because to move along it with such long legs not easy.

forest mice, voles. All of them are very voracious, stocking up on seeds and berries. In winter, when everything around is covered with snow, the animals dig passages in snowdrifts, and can also live in haystacks and buildings.

Who is out of place here?

Having eaten enough for the summer, bears, badgers, mice and hedgehogs hibernate at the beginning of winter.
(Mice do not sleep in winter, and they are not visible because they move under the snow. But foxes always know where the mouse is, they smell it through a snowdrift)

In search of prey, a wolf, a fox and an elk roam the snowy forest.
(The elk is not a predator. He, like all ungulates, is a herbivore, and when there is no fresh grass, he eats branches and last year's grass)

Elks, wild boars, weasels, hares and roe deer feed on branches, roots, plant bark and fresh leaves in winter.
(Weasels are predators, they catch mice and birds. Unfortunately, there are no fresh leaves in the forest in winter, so it’s hard for them)

Well done guys! They told me everything right! Well, now I'll show you a cartoon!
