Scenario for the environmental holiday “Earth Day”

Scenario of the environmental holiday "Earth Day" for children of the senior and preparatory groups

Target. Introducing the Earth Day holiday. Fostering respect for nature;
instilling in children a love for planet Earth.
Tasks:
1) develop a good attitude towards planet Earth;
2) continue to introduce the basic rules of behavior in nature;
3) cultivate a caring attitude towards living nature.
In the morning, the teacher congratulates children and parents on Earth Day and invites them to take part in the holiday.

HOST. Let's say our greetings:
“Hello, golden sun!
Hello, blue sky!
Hello, Mother Earth!
Hello my friends!"
- To think about the problems of the world around us, people created a holiday - EARTH DAY. You, of course, have heard about Santa Barbara, an American resort town. On April 22, 1969, a sad and terrible incident occurred there, which made all residents think about their planet and about protecting the world around them. A huge puddle of oil spilled from an oil well. Beaches and bays were covered with a dirty and sticky layer of fuel oil. Sea animals, birds and fish fell into it and died from the deadly film. After this incident, people decided to devote one day a year to protecting our planet, calling it EARTH DAY. The very first EARTH DAY, on April 22, 1970, was celebrated by more than 20 million Americans taking to the streets. They organized rallies and demonstrations in defense of nature, demanded the adoption of new environmental laws, planted trees, cleared garbage from the streets, cleaned river banks, and listened to songs at concerts praising the beauty of the world around them. After that, it became a holiday all over the world.
HOST.
Our planet Earth is very generous and rich:
Mountains, forests and fields are our dear home, guys!
Let's save the planet
There is no other like it in the world.
Let's scatter both the clouds and the smoke over it.
We won’t let anyone offend her.
We will take care of birds, insects, animals.
This will only make us kinder.
Let's decorate the whole Earth with gardens and flowers.
We need such a planet!

POETRY:
1. This earth is our bright home,
There are many neighbors in it: both furry kids and fluffy kittens.
And winding rivers and curly sheep.
2. Grass, birds and flowers,
And, of course, me and you.
In this glorious house you need to live very friendly with everyone,
Do not offend anyone, respect all neighbors.

SONG:“DO NOT Tease DOGS” (E. Ptichkin, M. Plyatskovsky)

3. The guys love a living corner - every bird and every flower.
The little animals are happy for their dear friends,
Even the flowers seem to be drawn to them.
It’s as if fish recognize their friends,
It’s as if the birds are singing louder to them.
Each planted sprout grows stronger... The guys love a living corner.

4. Let's people be friends with each other.
Like a bird with the sky, like a field with a plow,
Like the wind with the sea, grass with the rains,
How the sun circles with us all!..
Let's strive for this
So that both the beast and the bird love us.
And they trusted us everywhere,
Like your most faithful friends!..
Let's save the planet -
There is nothing like it in the entire Universe:
All alone in the whole universe,
What will she do without us?...

We bring bouquets from our walks in April.
Bring some nettles home,
Let grandma cook green cabbage soup.

HOST. Now I will ask riddles, and if you guess them, the riddles will come to life. Listen to the first riddle:
There is bustle and running around in the forest near the stump. The working people are busy all day. Who are they? Where? Whose black streams flow? Together, small dots build a house for themselves on a hummock. (ANTS)

SONG A. Abepyan “About me and the ant.”

Children read the poem “Ants” (A. Babajan)
Ants are in a hurry, not lazy, not stupid.
Grains and crumbs are dragged along the path one after another.
An ant cannot be lazy, an ant lives by work:
Everything he sees he drags into his underground home.
When you see that he is hurrying on his way,
Don't hurt him, don't touch him!

HOST. Listen to the following riddle:
“The beaks are so yellow, the paws are red, big,
They waddle, but if necessary they will swim.” (Ducklings)

CHILDREN PERFORM THE “DUCK DANCE.”

HOST: What kind of house is this among the branches in the open air?
He treats the birds with grain and bread. ( Feeder)
BIRD VOICES SOUND (in the recording).

Children read A. Yashin’s poem “Feed the Birds.”

Feed the birds in winter! Let it come from all over
Flocks of people will flock to your porch like home.
Their food is not rich; a handful of grain is needed.
A handful of grain - and winter is not scary for them.
It’s hard to count how many of them are dying, it’s hard to see,
But in our hearts there is also warmth for the birds.
How can we forget - we could fly away,
And they stayed to spend the winter together with the people.
Train the birds to your window in the cold,
So that we don’t have to greet spring without songs!

HOST. What are the names of the animals that live in your home? (Domestic)

SONG ABOUT PETS.

HOST. The hero stands rich, treats everyone:
Vanya with strawberries. Anya - a bone maker,
Mashenka with a nut, Katya with a raspberry, and Vasya with a twig. (Forest)

HOST. Now Nastya will tell you how to greet the forest.

A child reads S. Pogorelovsky’s poem “Forest”

Hello, forest, dense forest! Full of fairy tales and miracles!
What are you making noise about in the leaves, on a dark, stormy night?
What do you whisper to us at dawn, covered in dew, like silver?
Who is hiding in your wilderness? What kind of animal? What bird?
Open everything, don’t hide it: You see - WE ARE OUR OWN!

HOST. Now Kirill will tell you how to say goodbye to the forest.

A child reads S. Pogorelovsky’s poem “Forest”

Dense forest, goodbye! You will grow to the joy of people!
We will be friends with you, Good forest, mighty forest,
Full of fairy tales and miracles!

HOST. Being a guest is good, but being at home is better. The birds know this and return to their native lands every spring. Listen, children, what conversation we had with the crane.

POEM “Crane” (P. Voronko)

Crane-crane-crane! He flew over a hundred lands.
We asked the crane: - Where is the best land? He answered as he flew by: “There is no better native land!”

Song: “Who grazes in the meadow”

HOST. Favorite land, my Earth.
Native spaces.
We have rivers and fields.
Seas, forests and mountains.

Children read S. Vasiliev’s poem “RUSSIA”

Russia is like a word from a song.
Birch young foliage.
There are forests, fields and rivers all around.
Expanse, Russian soul.

I love you, my Russia,
For the clear light of your eyes,
For the mind, for the holy deeds,
For a voice as clear as a stream,

I love you, I understand with all my heart
The steppes are filled with mysterious sadness.
I love everything that is called
In one broad word - Rus'.

DANCE “There was a birch tree in the field”

HOST. And now I want to ask the last and perhaps most important riddle:
1. No beginning, no end, no back, no face.
Everyone, young and old, knows that she is a huge ball.
No matter how much you drive or walk, you will never find the end here. (Earth)

2. He will borrow grain -
The loaf will be returned. (Earth)
HOST. Guys, name what proverbs you know about your native land.
The earth feeds people like a mother does children.
Bow to Mother Earth, she will reward you a hundredfold.
For fish - water, for birds - air, and for man - the whole earth.
Mother Cheese Earth feeds everyone, gives everyone water, clothes everyone, warms everyone with her warmth!
The earth will give shelter to every person - both good and bad.
A mother is kind to her children, and the earth is kind to all people.

Reading the poem “Mother Earth” by L. Abdulov.

Tell me what is the correct name for the Earth?
Is the land expensive? Is the land golden?
No, it’s better to tell her: “Dear! »
The earth is our dear, kind mother!
It will sound more affectionate and truer
After all, everything we love
Everything was created by her - mountains and rivers,
And the forest, and flowers, and autumn, and summer,
And the rain and you.

HOST. Trees are planted in spring. People say that if a person wants to leave a good memory of himself on earth, he must plant a tree.

Poem “Forest Festival” by S. Marshak

What are we planting when we plant forests?
Masts and yards - hold the sails,
The deckhouse and the deck, the ribs and the keel -
Wander the sea in storm and calm.
What are we planting when we plant forests?
Light wings - fly to the skies.
The table at which you will write.
Pen, ruler, pencil case and notebook.
What are we planting when we plant forests?
A thicket where badgers and foxes roam.
Thicket where the squirrel hides the baby squirrels,
Thicket where pileated woodpeckers knock.
What are we planting when we plant forests?
The leaf on which the dew falls
Forest freshness and moisture,
And the shadow - That's what we plant
Today.

Goal: Deepening environmental knowledge in children, instilling in them a humane attitude towards nature, a sense of responsibility for all life on Earth.

Objective: To develop an understanding of life on Earth, about the general conditions for the development of plants, animals and people (air, water, food); to cultivate a sense of pride in one’s planet; encourage the desire to do something pleasant for the Earth; teach that conditions are different in different places: there are areas where it is easy to live (fertile lands, wooded areas, temperate climate), but there are places where it is difficult for humans, animals and plants to live .

Preliminary work: learning poems, nursery rhymes and riddles about nature, conversations on the topic of environmental education, looking at illustrations, reading works of art about plants and animals, getting to know space, holding a competition for the best drawing on the topic “The Earth is our home.”

Equipment: a large ball with continents (model of the earth), two trash baskets, garbage (sticks, paper, plastics), hoppers, easels, A4 paper, pencils, gouache.

Children enter the hall listening to music

Presenter:

Today we celebrate Earth Day. We glorify the Earth and thank you for everything. All living creatures on Earth find food for themselves. Everything we need for life is given to us by the Earth: food, material for clothing, water. Earth is a beautiful planet! People should love and take care of her, because she is our common home. I congratulate everyone on the Earth Day!

Guys, today planet Earth invited us to its birthday party. Her birthday is celebrated by all people on the globe.

To your pets: animals and birds,
Health for fish and insects,

And also to be the most beautiful planet.
We think that on your birthday
You will be cheerful and will not be offended by us.
We will try to remove all the garbage from you."

Presenter:
Guys, do you want to play with the Earth?

A ball game is played: Earth asks a question and throws the ball

Who lives on earth? (animals, insects, flowers, etc.)
Who lives underground? (worms, moles, beetles, etc.)
Who flies above the Earth? (birds, insects)
When is it light outside? (in the afternoon)
Why is water needed? (drink, swim, water plants, etc.)

You guys are great, you know everything about the Earth.

Competition: “Who can clean up the trash the fastest.”

After the end of the competition, the presenter asks where the animals can use the branches (for nests, anthills, etc.)

Presenter:

Puzzles:

What kind of ceiling is this?
Sometimes he is low, sometimes he is high,
Sometimes he is gray, sometimes he is whitish,
It's a little bluish.
And sometimes so beautiful -
Lace and blue – blue
(Sky)
We all like it
Without him we cry
And as soon as it appears -
We look away and hide:
It's very bright
And the roast is very hot.
(Sun)
Grew up in a meadow -
I found myself in a haystack.
(Grass)
Two antennas on the top of the head,
And she herself sits in the hut.
She's carrying her,
It crawls along the straw.
(Snail)
It can be alive or dead,
Both liquid and very solid...
Maybe lurking in the sky
And hide in the depths of the earth,
And they will evaporate before our eyes,
And then appear again!
(Water)
Who lives in water all his life,
And she doesn’t drink water herself:
Neither lake nor river,
Not any other one.
(Fish)

Presenter: And now the guys for you, Earth, will perform “Dance with Umbrellas.” (from the film “Office Romance”
Dear “Earth”, the guys know poems about you.

1st child:
Us at any time of the year
Wise nature teaches:
Birds teach singing
Spider - patience.
Bees in the field and in the garden
They teach us how to work.

2nd child:
Snow teaches us purity.
The sun teaches kindness.
Nature has it all year round
You need to study.
All the forest people
Teaches strong friendship

3rd child:
You breathe the clean air of the forests
And you drink water from deep rivers,
You are full of her bread, man,
Answer her sad call.

4th child:
There is one garden planet
In this cold space.
Only here the forests are noisy,
Migratory birds are called

5th child:
There is a huge house on Earth
Under the roof is blue.
The sun, rain and thunder live in it,
Forest and sea surf.
Birds and flowers live in it,
The cheerful sound of the stream,
You live in that bright house,
And all your friends.

6th child:
Wherever the roads lead,
You will always be in it.
The nature of my native land
This house is called.

Presenter:
Guys, the Earth is different at different times of the year.

(Show pictures)

Guess: When is the earth white?
What about yellow, red, orange?
When is it green?
And when - multi-colored?

Leading:

Children enter the hall to the music and sit on chairs.
Educator: Dear guests and guys, we are glad to welcome you to our holiday. For almost 40 years, Earth Day has been celebrated all over the world.
In Russia, on this day they organize cleanup days, plant trees, remove garbage, hold various events, and call for solutions to environmental problems.
Child: There is a huge house on Earth
Under the roof is blue.
The sun, rain and thunder live in it,
Forest and sea surf.
Birds and flowers live in it,
The cheerful sound of the stream,
You live in that bright house,
And all your friends.
Wherever the roads lead,
You will always be in it.
The nature of my native land
This is the name of the house!


Educator: Today, I propose to talk with you about how to take care of our planet, what needs to be done so that its beauty does not fade away.
What can we preschoolers do to make the planet bloom and green, so that the air is cleaner, and nature makes us happy?
Children give their answers.
Child: Everyone here knows, you and me!
You cannot offend nature!
So let's say together one, two, three,
Let's open the holiday - Earth Day!
Educator: And I propose to open our holiday with "Happy exercise"
One two three four five,
We can all count
We also know how to relax:
Let's put our hands behind our backs,
Let's raise our heads higher
And let's breathe easily, easily.
Educator: Let's warm up our voices and sing with you, my friend.
Song “A friend is with us.”
1. With us, friend - with us, friend,
Together - together,
Sing, sing,
A song! - a song!
And then - and then,
The sun is the sun,
Smiles at us from above,
And then - and then,
Bright - bright,
Flowers will bloom all over the Earth.
Chorus:
Together we will build a house,
Together we will plant a garden,
Let's sing this song together.
Everyone knows that we are together,
Everyone knows that we are together,
Together we are always more interesting!
2. Birds of us - birds of us,
Called - called
Behind you - behind you,
In the distance - in the distance,
But then - but then,
Who, who,
Will he walk on the grass barefoot?
But then - but then,
Who, who,
Plant a garden and build a house?
3. Let the Earth - let the Earth,
Spinning and circling
All children are all children
They are friends - they are friends.
We then - we then,
Quickly - quickly,
We'll grow mushrooms in the rain.
We then - we then,
Home - home
Let's call the earth a common home.
Educator: Guys, guess the riddle.


-In the summer he puts on a fur coat,
And in winter he takes it off. (Forest.)
- There are many different trees there,
Herbs, lichens, bushes,
Birds, animals, mushrooms and berries,
And, of course, mosquitoes.
It's always full of miracles -
I love walks in... (forest)!
- Objects of nature that breathe,
They grow, multiply, run, hear,
They can walk and turn their heads -
These are objects of nature... (live)
- Five kingdoms in which there are many organisms,
We call mother-... (nature)
Educator: You are a master at solving riddles, and now we will check how well you know the rules of behavior in the forest. To do this, we will play with you the game “If I come to the woods.” I will tell you my actions, and you tell me if they are correct. If the actions are good, say “yes”, and if they are bad, say “no”! (riddles are asked in turn to children and parents)
If I come to the woods
And pick a chamomile? (No.)
If I eat a pie
And throw away the paper? (No.)
If a piece of bread
Shall I leave it on the stump? (Yes.)
If I tie a branch,
Shall I put up a peg? (Yes.)
If I light a fire,
Won't I put it out? (No.)
If I mess up too much
And I’ll forget to remove it. (No.)
If I take out the trash,
Shall I bury the jar? (Yes.)
I love my nature
I'm helping her! (Yes.)
Educator: Well done, almost everyone answered correctly. Now the guys will speak and will once again remind you of these rules. Please remember how a well-mannered, polite person must behave in the forest, and teach this to your friends.
Child: On the planet year after year
Man harms nature.
And he didn’t understand, the eccentric,
That nature is not a trifle!


Child: A well-mannered person does not break branches of trees and bushes, or pick forest flowers. The grass cover retains moisture and provides shelter for a huge number of beneficial insects and small animals.
Child: Do not knock down mushrooms that are unfamiliar to you or even those that are known to be poisonous. Many of them are medicine for forest inhabitants.
Child: We should not catch and bring forest animals, insects and birds into the house; for them, our “entertainment” often ends in illness, torture and death. These are not toys.
Child: Do not destroy anthills accidentally or on purpose! Otherwise, the ants will not have time to repair their little house before frost. And they will die!
Child: And, of course, a polite person who comes to relax in a forest or meadow will not leave trash behind.
Educator: I invite my parents to play.
Didactic game “Whose fruits (seeds)?”
Acorns grow on... - oak;
apples grow on... - apple tree;
round bump on... - pine tree;
long cone on... - spruce;
bunches of rowan grow on... - rowan;
catkins grow... - on birch, alder, willow.
Educator: Thank you, parents. Now, let's play a game with the children. To do this you need to split into two teams. We cling to each other like a train, hold on tight, try not to get unstuck.
There are various objects scattered on the floor, you need to remove everything, whose team collects the most objects wins.
Outdoor game “Clean up the trash.”
Educator: Well done, now we see that you always clean up the trash. Now we will try never to offend nature. We must remember that man is not a destroyer, but a friend of nature, a gardener and a doctor. Unfortunately, wittingly or unwittingly, we often violate these rules. Therefore, let us now ask for forgiveness from nature and try not to make any more mistakes in communicating with nature.
Child: Forgive us, little bug,
And the ant and the bees,
Sorry, slender poplar
And felled Christmas trees.
Forgive us, captured animal,
You feel so cramped in the cage.
Sorry for not saving
And you have become so rare now.
Child: We want the birds to sing
So that there is noise around the forest,
So that the skies are blue,
So that the river turns silver,
For the butterfly to frolic,
And there was dew on the berries,
We want the sun to shine
And the birch tree turned green.
And under the tree lived a funny prickly hedgehog!
For the squirrel to jump,
So that the rainbow sparkles,
May it rain cheerfully in the summer!
Educator: Now, let's make our own planet Earth, where there is no garbage. And the sun always shines, it rains cheerfully and the rainbow sparkles.
(children with their parents are divided into pairs and draw on templates how they see our planet)


Child: Let's be friends with each other
Like a bird with the sky, like a field with a meadow,
Like the wind with the sea, grass with the rains,
How the sun is friends with all of us!
Child: Let's strive for this
So that both the beast and the bird love us,
And they trusted us everywhere,
Like your most loyal friends!
Child: Let's save the planet!
There is nothing like it in the entire universe.
There is only one in the whole universe,
It was given to us for life and friendship!
Educator: I invite everyone to join the circle and play a little. I throw a ball to the child and ask a question, and he must catch and answer.
A ball game is being played.
- What do we give mom for the holiday? You can smell them...? (flowers)
- Where do worms live...? (in the ground)
- Who flies above the earth...? (birds, butterflies)
- What do we breathe...? (by air)
- What animals live on earth...? (bears, cats, elk, dog, horse, etc.)
- Where do flowers grow...? (on Earth)
- They live underground...? (Worms, moles, beetles.)
- What is water needed for...? (Drink, swim, water the plants.)
Educator: Our mothers and fathers also did not sit at home idle, they were given homework, to prepare a short message or presentation on how children relax in nature, whether they take care of it, how they treat their smaller brothers. So we give the floor to the parents, and you and I will be the strict jury.

Progress of the lesson .

1. Organizational moment .

Guys, today, April 22, is an unusual day. A very interesting character accepts holiday congratulations. And who is it you will find out if you guess the riddle.

There are miracles on the planet:

Oceans and forests

There is oxygen in the atmosphere

People and animals breathe it. (Earth)

Yes, guys, today is Earth Day.

“Let there be only peaceful and joyful Earth Days for our beautiful spaceship - planet Earth, flying and rotating in the middle of cold space with its so vulnerable load of life...” UN Secretary-General U Thant, March 21, 1971.

Guys, why do you think this holiday was invented? I'll tell you a little history about how this holiday came about.

2. History of the holiday.

The first “one-time” event on this day took place in 1970 in the USA. Its success inspired the organizers, and since then the celebration has become regular. The famous American politician and activist Senator Gaylord Nelson created a group of students under the leadership of Dennis Hayes (a Harvard student). Since this was a time of active student movements, the initiative attracted a lot of attention.

In Russia, Earth Day is celebrated as part of the Days of Protection from Environmental Hazards. In 2009, the UN General Assembly proclaimed International Mother Earth Day, deciding to celebrate it on April 22.

Symbolism

The Earth flag is not an official symbol of anything (since there is no official planetary government or state). It features a photograph of the planet from space (currently the one taken by the Apollo 17 astronauts on their way to the Moon) against a dark blue background. Traditionally, the Flag is associated with Earth Day and many other environmental, peacekeeping and civil international events.

Earth Day Symbol

The symbol of the Day is a green Greek letter on a white background. On Earth Day, the Peace Bell traditionally rings in different countries, calling on the people of the Earth to feel the planetary community and make efforts to protect peace on the planet and preserve the beauty of our common home. The Bell of Peace is a symbol of calm, peaceful life and friendship, eternal brotherhood and solidarity of peoples. And at the same time, it is a call to action in the name of preserving peace and life on Earth, preserving Man and Culture.

The first Peace Bell was installed at the UN headquarters in New York in 1954. It is cast from coins donated by children on all continents and is a symbol of global solidarity among the people of the Earth. Orders and medals and other honorary signs of people from many countries are also fused into it. The inscription on the Bell reads: “Long live universal peace throughout the world.” In 1996, the same bell was installed at the UN in Vienna. The Peace Bell is installed in many countries. In Russia, the “Bell of Peace on Earth Day” event has been held since 1998 on the initiative and under the patronage of the USSR pilot-cosmonaut, Hero of the Soviet Union A. N. Berezovoy at the International Center of the Roerichs. At the grand opening of the first Earth Day in Moscow, Sergei Petrovich Kapitsa said: “... Earth Day is a day of responsibility to our planet, responsibility to the people who inhabit it, to nature itself, of which we are a part.”

Earth yesterday and today. How our planet has changed over the last century

What is it like, our Earth?

It is estimated that planet Earth is approximately 4 and a half billion years old. If you want to go around the Earth, walking along the equator, you will have to travel a distance of almost 40,010 kilometers. The correct understanding of the ancient people about the Earth did not develop among different peoples at the same time. For example, the ancient Indians imagined the Earth as a plane that lies on the backs of elephants. The Babylonians imagined the Earth as a mountain, and on the western slope of this mountain is Babylonia. The sea splashes around this mountain and the solid sky rests on it, like an inverted bowl - this is a heavenly world in which there is air, water and land, just like on Earth. People thought that the Sun sets in the sea and rises from it, because it seemed so to them from watching the Sun set over the sea horizon. The ideas of the ancient Greeks say that the Earth is like a disk that resembles a military shield. A river called Ocean washes the land from all sides. The sun floats across the copper horizon, which stretches over the Earth and every day rises from the waters of the Ocean in the east and sinks in the west. The followers of the ancient Greek scientist Pythagoras have already recognized the earth as round. Evidence that the Earth was round and not flat gradually began to appear after long-distance travel. Travelers noticed as they moved south that in this part of the sky the stars rose above the horizon in proportion to the distance traveled and new stars (which were not previously visible) appeared above the Earth. And, conversely, in the northern part of the sky, the stars descend and completely disappear beyond the horizon. Also confirming that the Earth is round was the observation of receding ships. The ship gradually disappears over the horizon. Now the hull of the ship hid, and only the mast remained visible above the sea surface. And then she disappeared. From all this, people concluded that the Earth has the shape of a circle. Aristarchus of Samos, an outstanding astronomer, expressed the opinion that all the planets, together with the Earth, revolve around the Sun, and not the Sun, together with the planets, revolve around the Earth. This was the beginning of the ancient people’s correct understanding of the earth. The Earth has one natural satellite - the Moon visible to the naked eye. Earth Day on April 22 provides an opportunity for every resident in every populated corner of the planet to express gratitude to our great common home.

According to tradition, on this day everyone takes part in the improvement and landscaping of their yards and streets, and various environmental events.

3. Looking at a newspaper.

Answer the question: what will happen if people don’t start saving the Earth? Let's take a look at our newspaper, which we published especially for the holiday. "The Earth is in Danger"

Tell me, how can we help our Earth? Do not litter in public places, do not litter forests, do not kill animals and birds, take care of rivers and seas. Plant trees and shrubs. It’s clean not where they clean, but where they don’t litter! And you, together with your parents, made such wonderful crafts from waste material.

4. Physical exercise.

We walk along the street, observing nature

(walking in place, turning the head to the right, left)

We looked up at the sun and the rays warmed us. (raises head up)

Birds are sitting in nests. (squats)

Birds fly across the sky (flapping hands)

And they jump over the bumps (jumping in place)

And no one cries! (smile)

5. Repetition of the rules of behavior in nature.

Let's repeat with you the rules of behavior in nature. I will show you a picture, and you will tell me what can be done and what cannot be done. (do not destroy nests, anthills, etc.) What should you do if suddenly there is a fire in the forest? Or a flood?

6. Study of fiction.

In the culture of the Russian people, planet Earth was considered the most expensive treasure. Since ancient times, people called the Earth mother and drew strength and spiritual power from the Earth. Russian heroes always had a bag of earth as a talisman. What proverbs about the Earth do we know?

Without an owner, the earth is an orphan.

Return the debt to the earth - it will be useful

Hold on to the ground, mother - she alone will not give you away.

A mother is kind to her children, and the earth is kind to all people.

A good land is full of money, a bad land is a bad land.

Expensive goods grow from the ground.

The land is black, but it produces a white loaf.

The earth loves care.

The earth is the nurse.

The earth feeds people like a mother does children.

The native land is a golden cradle.

The history of the land is the history of its people.

Don’t make friends with fire, water, or wind, but make friends with the earth.

We have drawn pictures dedicated to this holiday. And I invite you to visit our opening day.

7. Summary.

Let's love and protect our Earth and our lives will be better.

SUMMARY OF A COMPREHENSIVE LESSON IN A PREPARATORY GROUP

“TAKE CARE OF THE EARTH, TAKE CARE OF IT!” (KMO)

Program content:

1. To instill in children a caring and humane attitude towards nature, to bring them to the understanding that people should economically spend what is in it, protect and preserve nature.

2.Develop environmental literacy, speed of reaction, quick wits, and logical thinking.

3.Give an idea that our planet Earth is now in danger: in many places the water, soil, and air have become dirty. Continue to learn to distinguish between living and inanimate objects. Create conditions for generalizing children’s ideas about how humans use environmental factors (earth, plants, animals, water, air).

Materials: globe, 6 colored butterflies, 6 envelopes, emblems of environmentalists according to the number of children, the game “Fold the pattern”, the game “Fold the word”, Vietnamese game, picture diagrams of water, earth, plants, animals.

Progress of the lesson.

Educator: Guys, we all have a birthday. And so people agreed and decided that our planet should also have a birthday. That day was April 22. This is the day of birth and protection of our forests, rivers, lakes, animals, birds, insects - this is the day of protection of our nature.

Guys, let's talk about our planet. What is the name of our planet? (Earth). Let's look at the model of our planet together. Our planet is a huge, enormous ball. So big that it takes many, many days, even months, to travel around it.


Why is our planet called the blue planet? (Because most of the Earth's surface is covered by water.) The earth is not only water, but also land. These are huge continents where animals and birds live, where trees and flowers grow, where mountains rise and the heat of the desert breathes. ( They look at the globe.)

Now our planet is in danger. People have built many plants, factories, and power plants. They pollute the air - it is polluted by smoke from chimneys and gases from cars. Waste from factories flows into rivers and seas and pollutes them. Animals and plants die from this pollution, and people get sick. Nature is dying.

How can you and I help our planet? We must learn to love nature, to understand how all living beings live. This is what people – ecologists – do. Ecology is a science that studies the laws by which we must live in our common home, that is, on planet Earth.

Nature conservation laws must be observed not only by adults, but also by children. Do you, children, want to preserve the beauty of our planet and become young environmentalists, young ecologists? (Yes.)

Educator:Of course, you are still small and cannot do everything. But there is something you can do. Remember the rules of behavior in nature that must be followed.

Children (list): do not destroy bird nests, anthills, do not come very close to them, do not break branches, do not make noise in the forest, do not scream, do not light fires in dry weather, do not leave them unattended, do not leave garbage, do not tear flowers, and plant them. You can make feeders for animals and birds, but not traps and slingshots, etc.

Educator:Well done! But this is not enough to become a conservationist. It is necessary to pass the tests that these beautiful butterflies have prepared for us.

Each butterfly brought an envelope with a task. Here I have 6 envelopes. Each of them is the same color as one of the butterflies. Let's open the envelopes and complete the tasks. Ready?

Envelope 1. How do you understand the word “nature”? Give examples ( The sun, air, plants, animals, that is, what surrounds us).

You know that the natural world can be divided into the living world and the non-living world. How are they different from each other? ( Everything that belongs to the living world grows, moves, eats, reproduces and dies). Give examples of living (non-living) nature.

Educator:Well done! Completed 1 task.

Envelope 2. Game “Fold the word”.

Children are given a part of a picture, they need to assemble the picture from the remaining parts and read the resulting word.

Envelope 3. And now you have to make up representatives of the animal world using Nikitin cubes or using the “Magic Circle”. Choose for yourself what you would like to work with. As they complete the task, children talk about these animals.

Educator:Well done! We completed the task.

Envelope 4. Game “Identify the inflorescences according to the diagram.”

Children are offered an image of a flower, a plant and 4 diagrams, according to which they must determine which scheme the flower of a given plant corresponds to. Then the children come out and justify their choice.

Envelope 5.
