How the animals are preparing for autumn proposals. Animals at different times of the year. Why does a bear sleep in winter? V. Orlov
For the lesson you will need:
- animal figurines, or Stuffed Toys, or their images;
- game "find the shadow" - print;
- vata - "snow";
- riddles (you can print below);
- the story "How animals prepare for winter" (you can print it below).
We arrange toys of forest animals (which are at home) on the carpet. You can use soft toys, you can use rubber or plastic animal figurines, you can also use pictures.
We conduct observation of nature (through the window):
It's autumn outside - it's cloudy, windy, the sky is overcast gray clouds, the last leaves flew from the trees, we remember that there are almost no insects on the street - they all hid from the cold. Soon winter will come, the first snow will fall and it will become even colder outside and there will be less food for animals. We invite the child to go to the forest and find out how animals prepare for winter.
We come to the "clearing" where the animals of the forest are placed - a hedgehog, a fox, a hare, a bear, a wolf, etc.
We invite the child to solve riddles and find out what wild animals live in the forest. The child shows a guess - an animal toy.
She is smarter than all the animals
She has a red coat on.
A fluffy tail is her beauty.
This beast of the forest - ....
(A fox)
He sleeps in a den in winter,
Snoring little by little
And wake up, well, roar,
What is his name? - ...
(Bear)
White in winter and gray in summer.
He does not offend anyone, but he is afraid of everyone.
(Hare)
Who through the pines and firs
Dexterously jumps, branches oppression,
He sees where the cones are ripe,
And he carries himself in the hollow?
(Squirrel)
Grey, scary and toothy
Made a stir.
All the animals ran away.
Scared the animals of those ...
(Wolf)
So he built a dam
We need twigs and mud -
Builds everything without an ax
There will be a house at ... .
(Beaver)
On an autumn day, on a beautiful day
Looks like a spiny ball
Walking along the forest path
I found a mushroom in a clearing.
And mushrooms - I'll tell you -
Like it very much....
(Hedgehog)
Small stature, long tail,
Gray coat, sharp teeth.
(mouse)
This beast with two fangs
With very powerful legs
And with a tortilla on the nose.
He digs the ground in the forest.
(Boar)
From the box we scatter "snow" - cotton wool, reciting the poem "First Snow" by I. Bursov or any other:
Look guys
All around covered with cotton wool!
And in response there was laughter:
- It was the first snow.
Only Lyuba disagrees:
- It's not snow at all -
Santa Claus brushed his teeth
And scattered the powder.
Here comes the first snow! Winter will come soon. Animals are you ready for winter? Who got ready?
We read a fairy tale from the "Forest Book": 
We are talking about the story. using animal toys:
- How does a squirrel, a hare prepare for winter?
- How will a hedgehog or a bear escape from the cold?
- What will the fox and the wolf do in winter?
etc.
Then we do finger gymnastics:
Finger boy, where have you been?
I wandered through the forest for a long time.
I met a bear, a wolf,
bunny, hedgehog in needles,
met a squirrel, fox,
met an elk and a titmouse,
Gave gifts to everyone
everyone thanked me.
(we bend our fingers when listing)
We play with toys or their images in the game "What has changed?":
We arrange the toys in a row, ask the child to close his eyes and remove one toy. The child opens his eyes, we say that one animal ran away, please remember who.
We play 4-5 times.
Dana liked it so much that he decided to play again, only this time she had to guess who was hiding mom): 
Then you can play the game "Find the shadow":
I thought my lesson would end there, but Dana wanted something else, so we decided to make a mink for a hedgehog. But if your child gets tired, it's better to make a mink next time.
To do this, we need: cardboard (we have it from under jars of baby puree), scissors, glue or tape, and of course the hedgehog itself.
We glue the cardboard in the form of a tunnel, it would be nice to do more back wall but I did hastily, so we have a mink with 2 exits.
We stick around the cardboard with plasticine - we smear it (and this is a great workout for our fingers).
Having covered the cardboard with plasticine, we stick leaves, twigs, acorn lids, rowan berries (unfortunately, all that we have left of natural material, these are a few leaves, of course I wanted to make it even more beautiful, but there was nothing more to decorate, because there was already dirt on the street and the first snow fell, so something like that).
That's all! The hedgehog's mink is ready and he can sleep peacefully all winter.
And then Danya decided that it was snowing).
- All animals are ready for winter: some have changed their coats from summer to winter ones, some have stocked up, and some will sleep. And the hedgehog even has a mink ready.
We say goodbye to the animals and "leave".
I am not a fan of cold weather and snowdrifts. Looking at the bare trees outside the window, you want to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and watch your favorite movie over a mug of hot tea. New Year is the only thing that makes me happy winter time. My cat is also trying to find warm place in the apartment. He certainly wouldn't have spent the winter in wild nature. There is no one to take care of the animals. No one will feed them in the morning, they can only rely on themselves. But nature has laid in them everything necessary to successfully winter and meet spring.
Who is the first to start preparing for winter
Winter- this is the most difficult period for animals. With the onset of cold weather, the amount of food decreases significantly, so you need to prepare for winter. Someone begins to stockpile with the onset of autumn, and someone is already in summer time thinking about preparing food for the winter. The very first start stocking up on food rodents:
- chipmunks;
- mice;
- babaki (groundhogs).
Even in the warm summertime, they collect seeds and nuts everywhere. They attribute all findings to their burrows where they store all their winter supplies. Having taken care of the winter in the summer, rodents do not even come out of their holes in cold weather. Practically they sleep all winter, wake up only to refresh themselves.
What animal is not afraid of the cold
Not all animals are carefully prepared for the winter period. For example, foxes, hares and wolves almost nothing changes in their way of life with the onset of frost. Some changes only happen with woolen cover these representatives of the animal world.
Hares have a gray fur coat that changes to white. This allows them to remain less visible in the snowy forest. Wolves and chanterelles do not change color, but their fur coat becomes thicker with the onset of winter. That is why they are not afraid of frost. Foxes, when strong blizzards rage, look for holes for themselves to wait out this time.
How hedgehogs hibernate
hedgehogs very carefully prepared for the winter. For the winter they seek suitable hole. Usually their burrows are at a depth of about a meter. hedgehogs sleep in winter like, for example, bears. Before the onset of winter, the hedgehog must eat well in order to accumulate enough fata. If he does not do this, then he may not live until spring.
At the beginning of winter, hedgehogs do not sleep very soundly, and if they are disturbed, they wake up very quickly. The lower the air temperature, the better the hedgehog's sleep. At this time everything processes in his body slow down. A hedgehog can sleep for up to 240 days. He wakes up in the spring when fat stores run out and food sources reappear. Probably, our country hedgehog has already begun preparations for winter. :)

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. (To be held 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).
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 fruit in great abundance. And by the time the badger falls into hibernation, it often barely moves.
In the predominant number of representatives of the animal world, in spring and summer, mating season, and autumn passes under the sign of preparation for the onset of winter cold. Preparing for winter for animals living in fairly cold latitudes is a matter on which, without exaggeration, life depends. Many of them have their own, individual ways to spend the winter. We will talk about this below.
How do most animals prepare for winter?
The most important task is to prepare enough food supplies for the winter. Some animals, such as babaks, field mice and the chipmunks have been dealing with this issue since the end of summer. The hot summer is still reigning, and they are already looking for various nuts and seeds with might and main, prudently hiding them in their hole. So many animals do not make any reserves, but simply eat a lot and gain enough fat that will allow them to overwinter. Their main concern during the autumn months is to absorb as much as possible more food. Such animals include bears that sleep all winter in a pre-insulated den, badgers, hedgehogs, and even the bats. All of the listed mammals go into hibernation for the winter, since it is almost impossible for them to find cold period years of food. In many warm-blooded animals, an autumn molt occurs - this is a change from short summer fur to thicker and warmer. Hares, foxes, wolves, squirrels also shed and change their fur.In addition, hares and squirrels also change the color of their clothes - they become lighter to camouflage in the snow. Birds also molt in autumn, they grow new feathers. Many birds for the winter simply fly away to warmer climes. Beavers, hedgehogs, squirrels and bears are carefully preparing their homes for the winter - they insulate and strengthen it in all possible ways, drag dry leaves, branches, moss there. The life of the animal will also depend on the reliability and security of the home in winter. Foxes, hares and wolves, with the exception of changing their coats, do not especially prepare for winter, as they do not hibernate and spend the entire winter period in search of food. Wolves gather in large packs with the advent of winter, and foxes endure great frosts in their burrows.
