How animals prepare for winter in autumn. Open lesson "How the animals prepare for winter" in the senior preparatory group. How a badger prepares for winter
How a badger prepares for winter, you will learn from this article.
How does a badger prepare for winter?
The badger is a very responsible animal. He begins to prepare for winter in the fall. First of all, he is engaged in repairing his home, breaking through new passages, insulating the mink. If, during the warm season, he did not acquire a place for hibernation, then it doesn't matter. A badger can dig a cozy home for the winter in just one day. After the hole has been dug, the animal rakes a large pile of leaves, dry grass and small branches into its hole, arranges a soft, comfortable bed out of them, and goes to bed for the whole winter. Sometimes in badger hole it still winters together with a benevolent host and a guest, for example, a raccoon - it is much warmer together to wait out severe frosts and negative temperatures. But in winter, the badger does not sleep as soundly as the hedgehog, for example. When the thaws begin, he can often wake up and even crawl out of his cozy hole to bask a little in the sun and stretch himself.
Also, in addition to arranging a hole, the animal conscientiously walks up several kilograms of fat, which will serve as a source of livelihood for it for a long time. winter sleep. He eats mice, lizards, beetles, frogs, berries and fruits in very more. And by the time the badger falls into hibernation, it often barely moves.
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 a 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, animals are in constant search of food for their cubs in order 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 to saturate with vital 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 through 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 they are at stake own life and the life of offspring.
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 the autumn period 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.

STUDY PROCESS
(Children stand in a semicircle)
TEACHER: Today, children, I decided to read you an excerpt from E. Trutneva's poem "Autumn".
It suddenly became twice as bright,
Yard as in sunshine -
This dress is golden
At the birch on the shoulders.
In the morning we go to the yard -
Leaves fall like rain
Rustle underfoot
And fly, fly, fly...
What time of year is the poem talking about?
Children's answers (About autumn)
Name the autumn months.
Children's answers (September October November)
How do you understand the expression "leaves fall like rain"?
Answers children . Falling leaves are coming.
What are the signs of autumn?
Children's answers: In autumn the sun shines, but warms weakly. The day is getting shorter than the night. The sky in autumn is gray, overcast, gloomy. The leaves on the trees become colorful. The leaf fall begins. Migratory birds fly away to warmer climes, and the wintering ones stay with us. Wild animals are preparing for winter.
TEACHER: What wild animals of Bashkortostan do you know?
Children's answers: Fox, bear, hedgehog, squirrel, wolf, elk, hare, wild boar, lynx.
Educator: Why are these animals called wild?
Children's answers: Because they live in the forest and people don't care about them. Because they take care of themselves and live in the wild.
Educator: children, I propose to remember where wild animals live in the forest. (A didactic game "Who lives where")
TEACHER: Where does the squirrel live? (squirrel lives in a hollow).
Where does the bear live? (the bear lives in a den).
Where does the fox live? (The fox lives in a hole).
Where does the wolf live? (The wolf lives in a lair).
Where does the hedgehog live? (the hedgehog lives in a nest of leaves).
Where does the moose live? (The elk lives in the forest thicket).
Educator : Well done, children, do not forget how wild animals have adapted to live in the forest without the help of man. What season comes after autumn?
Children's answers: (After autumn comes winter)
Educator: That's right, after autumn comes winter. Winter is a very difficult, cold season. In winter, it is very difficult for wild animals in the forest: it is cold, there is little food. Therefore, wild animals are preparing for winter. But first, let's do a warm-up, we, the children, also need to get ready for school. Held finger gymnastics: "Animals we can show."
Children come to the board, on which there are pictures of wild animals.
Oh, listen, someone is knocking on our door. Quiet. I'm gonna chech it. Children, this Dunno came to us. He says he also wants to know how the animals prepare for winter. Shall we tell the stranger? Sit down, Dunno, make yourself comfortable and listen.
Children, I give you a magic ball that can record our conversation. Then we will give it to Dunno, suddenly he will forget something, bring it to his ear and hear your stories again. Pass the ball carefully, slowly. As soon as you hear the word stop, start a story about how wild animals prepare for winter.
The teacher holds a ball and tells how moose hibernate: moose go far into the thicket of the forest, where there are a lot of bushes and deadwood, where the cold wind subsides and it is easier to endure the cold, where it is difficult for predatory animals to get through. Dense fur prevents predators from advancing in dense deadwood and elks hibernate in safety.
The teacher passes the ball to the children.
CHILDREN: Squirrel makes stocks for the winter in summer and autumn, hides cones, nuts in his forest pantries, dried mushrooms. She arranges forest pantries in an old hollow, which was left by a hardworking woodpecker. The squirrel's coat color and thickness change in winter.
Hare changes the gray fur coat to a white, warmer one. He does this to keep warm in winter and to be invisible in the snow. After all, the bunny has a lot of enemies. This is a fox, and a wolf, and an owl, and a marten. If in the summer the bunny nibbled grass to its heart's content, and in the fall it ate juicy cabbage and carrots, then in winter it is hard for him, only the bark of trees and branches of shrubs sticking out from under the snow remain.
Hedgehog in the autumn he eats heartily in order to accumulate under his prickly coat a lot of fat, because in winter he hibernates and he needs to sleep peacefully all winter. The hedgehog chooses for itself a convenient hole, or a small hollow, somewhere under a sprawling tree, wraps itself in leaves and falls asleep, waiting for it to be covered with snow.
BEAR you also need to eat well, accumulate more fat under the skin so that you can sleep peacefully all winter. The bear arranges a lair for himself in a small ravine, heaping a tree on it and throwing it with dry deadwood. Gets inside and falls asleep. When snow falls and the ravine falls asleep, the bear becomes warm and comfortable.
TEACHER: Guys, the fox and the wolf are not preparing for winter, why are these animals not preparing for winter? (they are predators and therefore they are always looking for food).
Yes, it is not easy for wild animals to be in the forest in winter. Well, Dunno, get a magic ball and run, tell what you learned. Children, Dunno thanked you, say goodbye to Dunno.
It's time for us to play.
Physical education:
Hares are jumping hop-hop-hop!
Yes, on a little white snow,
Sit down, listen -
Is the wolf coming?
Once - bent, unbent,
Two - bent down, stretched,
Three nods of the head, stood up, jumped to the side. They stood, looked and sat down.
TEACHER: Come to the tables. Children, wild animals have prepared mushrooms for you. Treat - wild animals were allowed to give tea to the one who names the words - definitions for animals. (Children say - which one, which one, choosing pictures with a wild animal on the board, removing the pictures after answering).
TEACHER calls the children. Children give definitions:
Squirrel - caring, hardworking, troublesome, nimble, dexterous.
Hare - cowardly, timid, shy, white, gray,
Bear - clumsy, clumsy, clumsy
Hedgehog - prickly, brave, courageous, bold.
Lynx - dexterous, quick, bold, sensitive.
Moose - big, strong, fast, herbivorous
The wolf is fast, angry, gray, toothy.
Fox - beautiful, fluffy, cautious, cunning, fast.
Educator: Children, name the herbivorous wild animals of Bashkortostan. (Hare, elk, squirrel).
What wild predatory animals of Bashkortostan do you know? (wolf, fox, lynx, hedgehog).
Do you think there should be fewer predatory animals than herbivores or more?
Children's answers : Predatory animals should be less.
Educator: Such relationships are expressed in the form of various pyramids, which are called “ecological pyramids”.
In order for herbivores to eat, there must be more blades of grass than herbivores. Therefore, the strip with grass is longer than the strip with herbivores, and there are fewer herbivores than grasses. Well, herbivores are not averse to eating predators for lunch. They are bigger and stronger and need to eat a lot of herbivores. So in the forest
there must be more herbivores than carnivores in order for everyone to have enough food. This is where the pyramid comes in. The bottom line is that in order for everyone to have enough food, there must be more grass than herbivores, and more herbivores than predatory wild animals. (An ecological pyramid is laid out on the board).

What wild animals are we talking about?
What have you learned?
Did you enjoy the activity?
Good afternoon, dear readers!
In autumn, you often walk with your children in the park, forest. Have a conversation, tell the children how animals prepare for winter.
Let the child remember which animals are called wild. Kids can be shown pictures of wild animals, make riddles, read poems. Ask older children to decide logical tasks, read them stories about animals in the fall.
Show the relationship in the outside world - it became cold, the insects hid, the birds fly away to warmer climes, because there is no food for them.
The bunny changes its gray coat to white in winter so that predators do not eat it, it will not be so noticeable in the snow.

That wild animals get their own food and build their own dwellings;
- repeat who changes the color of the coat for winter (hare, squirrel);
Know where they live
bear (in the den)
wolf (in lair)
fox (in a hole).
Conversation with children "How animals prepare in autumn for winter"
Has come late fall: sad, rainy and cold. Not far off and winter. Winter is the hardest time for animals. They are cold and cannot find food for themselves.
Some will sleep until spring in their houses (bear, hedgehog), other animals do not sleep, but make supplies for the winter, warm their minks, change their summer coats for winter ones.
Who is first?
Most animals begin to prepare for the cold in the fall, some store food in the summer. These are mice, chipmunks. They collect seeds, grains, sunflower seeds and carry them to their minks. And then they hibernate in them.
Let's talk with children how a hare is preparing for winter, a bear, a hedgehog, a squirrel, a fox and a wolf, an elk.
First, tell about 2-3 animals, show pictures, play games so that the child remembers better how animals prepare for winter.
The bear is the owner of the forest
His house is a lair. The bear suits her in a secluded place, under the snags. Carries moss, leaves there. In winter, snow will fall and cover the lair from above, and it will not be visible at all.
Bears eat nuts, berries, roots, fish, various larvae. They eat and accumulate fat. In November, the bear climbs into the den and falls asleep. Bears sleep restlessly. If something disturbs them, they can leave their lair and make another one.
Babies are born in a bear's den - cubs, 1-2. They are very small.
Foxes and wolves
Grey, angry, cold in winter
Hungry wandering through the forest. (Wolf)
These predators do not sleep in winter. They also change their outfit, warm up. The animals begin to molt, and then thick fur grows, which helps to withstand the cold.
Wolves unite in packs in winter, hunt wild boars, hares, roe deer.
Look at what -
Everything burns like gold.
Walks in a fur coat dear,
The tail is fluffy and large. (Fox)
Foxes hunt at dusk or at night, catching mice, hares and birds. I sneak up on the prey, suddenly rush at it, grabbing it with sharp teeth. The fox sniffs the snow and looks for mice.
Fox house? (Nora).
Wolf house? ( lair).
Another inhabitant of the forest is a squirrel.
Who through the pines and firs
Dexterously jumps, bends the branches,
He sees where the cones are ripe,
And he carries himself in the hollow. (Squirrel)
In summer, this animal wears a red coat, and in winter it becomes gray.
Where does the squirrel live? (in hollow)
How does a squirrel prepare for winter?
Makes stocks in the summer: collects mushrooms, nuts, hides them in forest floor, hollow. Mushrooms strung on branches.
The squirrel nests on tall pines and spruces. Squirrels do not hibernate, but in severe frosts they can fall asleep in a hollow.
Elk
A large animal, a handsome forest man, wears an ornament on his head - large horns.
The elk feeds on plants, and in winter it gnaws at the bark of trees. It is difficult for moose in winter, so foresters often feed moose and deer.
At the end of autumn, the elk sheds its antlers. new ones grow in the spring.
Hedgehog
That in the forest I'm famous
That is covered with needles.
And I'm not afraid of enemies -
I snort and curl into a ball. (Hedgehog)
In early autumn, the hedgehog prepares a house for wintering - a mink. Carries leaves, soft moss in it. In autumn, hedgehogs have little food: it is difficult to find frogs, lizards and worms. Therefore, the hedgehog hibernates.
It will burrow into leaves, curl up in a ball and sleep all winter until spring, until the sun begins to warm.
beavers
Ask the children if they know where beavers live.
water masters
Building a house without an ax
The house of their brushwood and mud,
And a dam. (Beavers)
Beavers are amazing animals. They have very sharp teeth with which they gnaw through trees. A beaver's coat does not get wet in the water.
Beavers take care of their coat: comb it with their front paws, claws. And other beavers help to comb the back.
In autumn, beavers harvest a lot of branches, stack them not far from house-hut. This will be their food for the winter.
Beavers don't sleep in winter. The entrance to the house is underwater.
How does a hare prepare for winter?
Gray in summer.
And white in winter. (Hare)
The bunny changes its gray coat to white for the winter. What for? So that he would not be seen in the snow and not caught for dinner by predators.
In winter, hares feed on tree branches: aspen, birch, willow. and also gnaw at the bark.
The hare does not have a permanent house; in severe frosts, the hares hide under the bushes.
In autumn, the hare has babies - hares. This happens during leaf fall. Bunny is what they call it leaf fall.
The bunny feeds them and runs away so that the predators do not find the bunnies by smell. Milk is enough for 3 days. Then the hare returns or a strange mother comes running and feeds all the rabbits, even strangers.

This is how you can have an interesting time with children: have a conversation about how animals prepare for winter, play word games, look at pictures.
As a result, the vocabulary is enriched, the horizons of children expand, and love for nature is brought up.
