Let's play. Mobile Russian folk game "Woodpecker"
Children stand in a circle. The child playing the role of a woodpecker stands in the middle of the circle. Children dance around the woodpecker and say the first two lines:
“A woodpecker walks by the granary,
Looking for a grain of wheat."
The woodpecker says in response:
“I’m not bored alone, I’ll take whoever I want.”
With the last word, the woodpecker quickly takes the hand of one of the guys in the circle. And the children must quickly stand in pairs. The child left without a mate becomes a woodpecker in the next game.
Tales about birds. Woodpecker.
Why is the woodpecker respected by all birds and animals? And what would happen if woodpeckers disappeared? This is talked about in the fairy tale “The Woodpecker.”
Woodpecker worker. Tales of Lake Baikal
Birds from all over the taiga flew in and began to scold the woodpecker.
The cuckoo is the angriest of all: “You give me no peace, woodpecker, you knock, you knock!”
“Your knocking makes my head hurt,” the nutcracker complains.
- Idlers, you have ready-made food: flies, mosquitoes, boogers, berries, tree buds, nuts. And I need to chisel the tree, look for beetles under the bark. I save you all, ungrateful ones, I work from morning to night!
The birds whistled, chirped, and chattered angrily: “What!” Are you saving us? - Look, what a braggart! - Let's peck him!
The din of birds was interrupted by a capercaillie - an important bird in the taiga, it does not throw words to the wind. He stamped his foot: “You shouldn’t make a fuss, the woodpecker told the truth!” It protects trees from greedy bark beetles. Without it, they would have devoured all the trees and devastated the taiga. How can we live without the taiga?.. Screamers!
The cuckoo, sitting on a tall pine tree, was the first to sing throughout the whole taiga: “Pucko-coo, woodpecker, peek-a-boo, darling!”
Behind her is a nutcracker: “I praise you, buddy.” Come on - knock, knock.
- Knock-knock - good sound! - the forest pigeon shouted loudly.
The birds surrounded the woodpecker, the violator of the forest silence, and sang in chorus.
Ecology lesson “Hello, birds!”
Birds are a powerful source of knowledge.
They are an important factor in maintaining biological balance. Communication with birds ennobles a person, makes him sensitive, can serve as rich material for the development of aesthetic feelings, sensory education, and contributes to the formation of character and interest. To understand the art of communicating with birds, one cannot do without ecological knowledge. After all, misconceptions that cause an unfriendly attitude towards birds not only harm the birds, but also affect the psyche of children, making them bitter. Correcting misconceptions is much more difficult than forming new, correct ones. We provide knowledge in the form of environmental campaigns and activities with children. Hello birds!

Progress of the lesson
Updating knowledge on the topic “Spring”
There is a tree on the carpet and birds on it. A bird trill sounds in the recording.
The buds swell quickly and leaves appear. Everywhere there is hubbub, bird trill, April has come to us. - April has come to us. Spring came. And what miracles happen in the spring: snow turns into water, water gurgles everywhere, streams run, icicles melt from the heat, ice floes break off (is this dangerous?), buds swell, primroses appear, etc. But the most important miracle is that it is in the spring that some birds return, bringing spring on their wings, others survived the harsh winter and enjoy the warmth of spring (listening to a recording of birdsong).
Game "Good - Bad"
- What good is it that the birds flew away from us? (In winter it is cold in our area, they have nowhere to hide from the wind and snow, but in the south it is warm; the birds are hungry and have nothing to eat, since all insects sleep in winter, and in warm areas insects are found all year round). - What's wrong with birds flying away from us? (We don’t see birds; we don’t hear their singing; many birds, when they fly, die on the way, can’t stand the difficult road; without birds it’s boring and quiet).
Conversation on the topic “Migratory birds”
— The bird world is diverse! The spring parade of the feathered population is very interesting and vibrant! Rejoicing in spring and warmth, they improve our mood with their bird songs. So let there always be a lot, because they are not cramped in the air. - Guys, why do the birds come back to us? (Continue your lineage). Having arrived, the birds occupy nesting areas, forming pairs. At this time, bird song is most often heard. For example, a sparrow - father and a sparrow - mother, are looking for a place for a nest in any secluded place - in a hollow, birdhouse, under the roof of a house, in dense tree branches, etc. They collect branches for the nest, cover it with blades of grass, feathers, down, and scraps of wool. Then the mother bird lays eggs in the finished nest and sits on them. - Do you know how birds are born? I will tell you about a wonderful transformation. What do you think I'm holding in my hands? This is one of the miracles. The egg is life. The female bird lays eggs, and then incubates them for a long time, warms them with her warmth, protects them from predatory animals that want to feast on them, and protects them from bad weather.
Looking at illustrations of bird nests.
- Look at the clutches of eggs. What do they have in common? What is the difference? What do you think they made of? How long do you think it takes a bird to build such a nest?
Cognitive activity of children. Familiarization with the structure of an egg.
- Why do we need eggs? Whose egg is in my hands? (Chicken egg). Look how beautiful it is. Let's look at it with you. The egg has a shell. What is she like? Let's use a magnifying glass to look at the shell. The shell has tiny holes that allow air to pass through. What's inside the shell? (carefully break the egg) What is this yellow thing? What is it for? This is a yolk, in the yolk there is an embryo, (look at it) which will develop from the heat, having developed this embryo will turn into a bird. Protein contains the necessary supply of water and nutrients that are necessary for the development of the embryo. Are all eggs built like this? Can we go into the forest and check the birds' eggs? Why? Why can't you break the eggs of wild birds? Imagine that you find yourself in a spring forest and find a nest.
Working on the content of the poem
- I found a forest nest, of a small motley bird, made in early spring. There were eggs in the nest. How frightened she was, the bird pretended to be sick, dragged its wing, tossed about, in the thick grass, in front of me. It was given right into my hands. She took me away from the nest. And how much torment there was in it, And how much strength there was in it. - Why did the bird behave this way? (Birds will definitely hatch from the eggs of wild birds, so you can’t touch or break eggs found in the forest, you can’t pick them up, because the mother, sensing someone else’s smell, can throw them and the unhatched chicks will die).
Familiarization with the rules of conduct in the forest.
— At the end of May - beginning of June, chicks appear in bird nests. Caring parents feed them and, of course, protect them. A little extraneous sound or noise - mothers begin to leave their nests. Lead enemies away from the bird's house. People should remember this. Therefore, we should not make noise in the forest, so as not to scare the mother away from the nest, so as not to leave the babies without parents. Of course, you must follow other rules of conduct in the forest.
Don't destroy birds' nests! Do not take chicks from the nest! Don't break branches! The sun laughs tenderly, The sun shines hot. And in the ravine the Talkative stream flows loudly. After the winter silence After the winter cold, Birds fly from beyond the mountains, from beyond the seas.
So the birds came with me. Can you guess their names?
Game "Guess the bird"
There are cards with pictures of birds on the table, and leaves with riddles about birds in the basket. The child attaches the picture - the answer - to the magnetic board.
I sing loudly and loudly, Returning from the south on time. But I borrow songs from even forty. (starling)
He never builds a nest, leaves eggs for his neighbors, and doesn’t remember the chicks. (cuckoo) Heather - white-sided And her name is... (magpie)
The bird is small, has legs, but can’t walk. Wants to take a step, It turns out - a jump. (sparrow)
I'm knocking on wood, I want to get a worm. Even though he hid under the bark, he will still be mine. (woodpecker)
- Guys, do you want to fly and play with birds? Game "Birder"
Using a rhyme, a driver is selected and a hat is put on. Counting table: Tili - tili, the birds sang, soared to the sky, flew. The birds began to build nests. Those who don’t make nests should lead them.
The birder must determine by voice which bird he has “caught.” Children walk in a circle and say the words: In the forest, in the woods, on the green oak tree, the birds sing merrily. Hey, is the bird catcher coming? He will take us into captivity. Kar - kar - kar! (crow) Chik - chirp, chiv - chiv! (sparrow) Blue - blue - blue! (tit) Drink tea, drink tea! With sugar (thrush) Five - five, five - grouse (hazel grouse) Yula - Yula - Yula! (lark) Siskin - siskin, cha - cha - cha! (starling) Have you seen Vitya? Have you seen Vitya? (lentils)
Introducing children to signs
By watching birds, we can also determine what the weather will be like. We can name one of the birds that predicts the weather by solving a puzzle.
If this bird flies low, it means it will rain.
Martin)
Also, what signs do you know?
Sparrows gather in the dense foliage of trees and noisily meet - for clear weather.
The pigeons cooed - to clear weather.
Birds are tufting - it means rain.
The cuckoos cuckooed together - for clear weather.
Sparrows bathing in dust mean rain.
Birds sang in the rain - for clear weather.
Conversation “Save the birds”
- Guys, what would happen if the birds did not return to us? (environmental disaster)
There will be no one to protect parks, gardens, forests, fields, and vegetable gardens from harmful insects. Insects will eat all the vegetation and destroy the harvest of bread, fruits, and vegetables. There will be no one to spread the seeds of berries, herbs, and flowers across the earth. We will never hear their wonderful songs.
So that flowering gardens do not die in vain from harmful insects, Always, at any time of the year, take care of the birds, friends! What does it mean to save birds?
Looking at a birdhouse
— Look, guys, what wonderful houses your dads made. After all, the birds are already rushing towards us from the south. Birdhouses, wagtails and titmice with sparrows will settle in them. They will line them with soft down, moss, and blades of grass and lay their eggs. And from the eggs little starlings and sparrows will appear, and all day long they will fly, search, and carry worms or caterpillars to their chicks. One starling makes up to 200 flights per day. And today, on a spring day, Let's celebrate the birds' housewarming. We will hang these houses all together on birch trees. We guys are preschoolers. We invite all birds, come whoever wants. We love you very, very much.
There's a knock on the door. The postman Pechkin enters. He brought a telegram from the birds:
“Guys, please hang cotton wool and rags on the branches of trees and bushes with your parents. We will insulate our nests with this material.”
Practical work on the street
Together with the children and parents we go to hang up bird houses and cotton wool.

What was coming from the sky?
- Indeed, these were the voices of birds . This is amazing, unique , live music of nature, which you will never confuse with anything else. (music stops)
Educator:
“Imagine for a moment that suddenly their polyphonic choir fell silent and the branches of the trees became empty. (The voices of the birds fall silent )
