Life of forest animals in winter. Animals at different times of the year Life of animals in autumn

Synopsis of immediate educational activities children preparatory group on the theme "Wild animals in winter."

Squirrel in winter, it changes the color of its coat in order to make it easier for it to hide from its enemies, such as hawks and martens. In winter, the trees stand without leaves, and against the background of dark gray branches and trunks, the gray squirrel coat is less noticeable than if it were red. The tenacious paws of the squirrel help to move easily through the trees, and the tail, like a steering wheel, helps to control the movement.
In addition to the fact that the squirrel coat changes color, it also becomes warmer. And in the most severe frosts, the squirrel sleeps in its dwelling, a hollow. It is also prepared for the winter: back in autumn, the squirrel dragged fallen leaves and dry moss there, so that it is dry, warm and soft in the hollow. Squirrel is a big troublemaker and hard worker. For the winter, she prepared not only a warm hollow, but also supplies that the squirrel eats all winter. In summer and autumn, she collects nuts and acorns, dries mushrooms, and stores all this in special pantries - in empty hollows, under moss, near old stumps. She also collects spruce and pine cones and feeds on their seeds. So the squirrel does not have to starve in winter.

Hare, like the squirrel, changes the color of the coat for the winter. In summer he gray color, and by winter it gradually turns white: first the tail becomes white, then the hind legs, and only then the back and sides turn white. The hare is helped by his quick legs. His hind legs are very strong, the hare repels them and makes big jumps, running away from his enemies - the fox and the wolf. The hare does not have a separate mink. On a winter day, he usually sleeps in a snow hole or buried in a snowdrift, and at night he goes out to get food: gnaw at the bark of fallen trees. The hare feeds on the bark of trees, branches, leaves.

Fox getting ready for winter too. In winter, thick hair grows on her paws so that it is not cold to step on the snow. The fox walks like in felt boots. The long tail serves as a rudder for the fox, helping to abruptly change the direction of the run during the hunt. The fox deftly hides from enemies, runs away, bites. The white tip of the mother fox's tail is a landmark for fox cubs at night. Seeing him as a beacon, they unmistakably follow her. in winter in bitter frosts the tail serves as a warm fluffy blanket and a soft pillow for the fox. She curls up in her hole, covers her paws with her tail and lies with her muzzle buried in delicate fur. Warm and cozy. The fox feeds on small rodents and birds.

Wolf although he does not change his fur coat like a squirrel and a hare, he warms it. By winter, the wolf's coat becomes thicker and longer. This is necessary for wolves, because they sleep right on the snow, covering their nose and paws with their tail. They usually sleep during the day and hunt at night. But wolves gather in packs in winter and walk in a chain, one after another, in search of prey - it’s easier to hunt this way. AT wolf pack there is a leader - this is a strong, intelligent, experienced wolf. The whole pack of wolves hunt deer, elk, wild boars, small rodents. And in severe frosts, when all the animals hid, wolves can approach people's dwellings. They can drag a pig, a sheep, attack a calf. And during the day they hide in their lair.

Elk the largest relative of the deer. Its body length reaches up to 3 meters. Elk antlers serve to protect against predators on their feet. The moose fights off the enemy with its hooves, kicks, quickly and quickly runs away, sensing danger. Hooves help him move through the snowy forest, like on skis, he does not fall through. Moose sleep in loose snow. Moose feeds on grass, branches, tree bark, fly agaric.

Your lair bear diligently and skillfully cooks: covers with fallen leaves, soft fragrant needles, dry moss. As soon as snowflakes fly from the sky, the bear goes to bed. A snow blanket will cover the lair from above, it will become warm in the dwelling. His sleep will last until spring. The bear gnaws its enemies with its teeth, crushes with its paws. Likes to eat honey, nuts, acorns, insects, fish.

Hedgehog it defends itself from enemies with needles: it curls up into a ball, exposes its needles in all directions, pricks. The hedgehog also stores for the winter. When the cold comes, he climbs into his warm and cozy house and sleeps soundly until spring. A white snowball covers the mink with a blanket, no one will find or disturb the hedgehog. Maybe the hedgehog will dream about how he wanders through the forest in the summer, catching worms, beetles, nimble lizards, poisonous snakes, mice and frogs.

But there are still interesting wild animals that we have not talked about yet. Can you name them for me?
That's how animals
Burrows do not dig
But they build dams
They are all wearing coats
Tool not saw-teeth

Dwelling at beavers It is called so interestingly - a hut. They build this dwelling themselves from fallen trees on ponds. The entrance to the burrow is under water, and the burrow itself is a complex structure with several entrances and exits, many burrows and nesting chambers. Beavers are very clean. What are baby beavers called?
Children: - Beavers.
- Guys, but in the forest you can meet another animal, look! This is a badger, look what he has big family. Badger mother, badger cubs. They live in a hole, badgers are very ambitious animals. They feed on insects, larvae, worms.

Fizminutka "Teremok"
Now let's sit down in the meadow and rest.
Stands in the field of a teremok, a teremok
He is not low, not high, not high.
There is a lock on the door
Who could open it
Bunny on the left, bear on the right
Pull back the shutter
Hedgehog on the left, wolf on the right
Click on the lock
Bunny, bear, hedgehog, wolf
Open the teremok.

4. Children, I suggest you answer the questions:
1. Question: "What do wild animals eat?" (grass, mushrooms, berries, branches, other animals, insects, etc.).
2. Question: "How do wild animals differ in the way they feed?" (herbivores, carnivores and omnivores).
3. You have the following task: You see 2 hoops. There are pictures of animals on the table. Each of you will take 1 picture and if this animal is a herbivore put it in a green hoop, if it is a predator put the picture in a red hoop, but where do you think the omnivore should be put? (in the middle of 2 hoops).

5. Game "Tails"
I invite the children to stand around the table, on which the pictures are laid out with the pictures down. The teacher gives each child a picture of a tail (wolf, fox, hare, etc.). Tails can be repeated and images of animals too.
- Different animals lived in the forest. One day, a magpie spread the news through the forest that tails were being distributed to animals in a clearing. Guess which tail each animal chose? Turn the pictures upside down and find the tail that suits you. Then the teacher asks one by one:
- Who are you? (I am a bear). What tail do you have? (I have a bear tail). Why did you decide (a) that this is a bear tail? (it is small, short, rounded). And why does a bear have such a tail, what would happen if it had a tail like a fox? (thoughts, arguments of children).

6. Reflection. A conversation about what they learned new, what they especially liked, what they didn’t.

Hello our dear moms and dads! We continue the autumn theme and today we will tell the children about the life of animals in the fall.

In autumn, animals prepare for the harshest time of the year - winter. The life of furry, feathered and other inhabitants of forests, fields, city parks, squares depends on how this preparation goes.

Insects are among the first to react to weather changes.

Most of them are looking for cozy shelters in which to sleep through the winter. They find these shelters under fallen leaves, under bark that has lagged behind a tree trunk, in the crevices of houses.

But butterflies turn into pupae and so wait out the cold winter.

Lizards, snakes, frogs, toads are in a hurry to leave for the winter. Brown grass and green frogs stay closer to water bodies in autumn, at the bottom of which they hibernate. Toads seek shelter on land: under the roots of trees, in the minks of small rodents.

In autumn, lizards crawl deeper into their minks, under moss, into fallen leaves, under tree roots, into rotten stumps.

When the cold comes and the insects disappear migratory birds- swallows, swifts, flycatchers - begin to prepare for a trip to warm countries.

Forest animals are also beginning to prepare for winter. Some of them begin to eat a lot so that fat forms under their skin, which will warm the beast well in winter cold. For example, bears and badgers. Many inhabitants of the forest make stocks for the winter (squirrels, mice, moles), prepare winter housing.

In autumn, many animals begin to shed - they grow a warm undercoat, and the fur changes its color.

In a white hare, the entire fur coat becomes white, and only the tips of the ears are black, and in a hare, the fur coat brightens only on the sides.

The squirrel turns gray by winter, changing its bright fiery red coat to a more inconspicuous one in winter.

When snow appears and it gets colder, some animals go into hibernation. Such animals include hedgehogs and bears, which cannot feed themselves in winter.

That's all for today. Soon a presentation on the topic “Animal Life in Autumn” will appear on Yasnaya Solnyshka.

Also, you can get my free book.

Sincerely.
Elena Medvedeva.

GCD on ecology "Animal life in autumn in the forest"

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 vocabulary children to 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, which do not fit into hibernation and do not stock up. 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, strong fast legs, sharp teeth help him survive.

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 the words:

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