Children sit on chairs in a semicircle.
Educator: Guys, look out the window, what time of year is it now? Children: Winter Educator: How did you know that it is winter now? Children: It snowed, people put on warm jackets, hats, mittens, felt boots... Educator: Well done, when winter comes, snow falls, the air becomes cold and people dress warmer so as not to freeze. Guys, do you want to go to the winter forest? Children: Yes. Educator: Great, but since it’s cold outside now, we have to get dressed before we go into the forest. Show us how you will dress, what will you wear first? A didactic game “Who will wear what” is played (in order to consolidate ideas about clothes and shoes, the purpose of things). Children imitate the movements of the sequence of putting on clothes. Children: First we will put on tights, pants and boots, then we will put on a jacket and a hat, after that we will put on a coat (jacket) and tie a scarf. Let's put gloves on our hands. Educator: Correct. Why did we dress so warmly? Children: Because it's cold outside. Educator: Correct. Guys, you and I began to dress warmly, but how did the animals in the forest prepare for the cold? Children: The animals change their coats and go to bed. Educator: Well done! Let us go into the forest and see how the animals have prepared for winter. Let's go to the forest by train! Stand behind each other, I will be the locomotive, and you will be the carriages (p/n “Train”). - Here we are! Physical education minute. Show me, guys, how animals live in the forest, how a little fox wakes up, how a little squirrel washes itself, how a little hare galloped, how a wolf cub ran!
(children imitate movements in accordance with the text)
Educator: Here we are in the forest, let's sit on stumps (chairs) and behave quietly so that the animals do not get scared of us. Tell me, please, what are the names of the animals that live in the forest? Children: Wild. Educator: Correct. In the group in different places there are illustrations of forest animals. Educator: Now I’ll tell you a riddle, and you listen and tell me who it’s about. A ball of fluff, A long ear, Jumps deftly, Loves carrots Who are these guys?
(bunny)
Educator: Well done! This is a bunny, he has long ears, he jumps deftly and loves carrots. Let's come closer to him (the children, together with the teacher, approach the image of the hare). What does a bunny do in the forest in winter?
Children: Runs, jumps. Educator: That's right, do you guys know what color a bunny's fur coat is in winter? What kind of fur coat in summer? Maybe someone can tell me why? (children's answers) Educator: Yes, in the summer the bunny is gray, it is easier for him to hide in the grass. In winter it snows and everything around is white. To prevent the fox and gray wolf from finding the bunny, he changes his fur coat and puts on one as white as snow. Do you know what a bunny eats in winter and where he lives? Children: Eats tree bark.
Educator: Yes, but the bunny doesn’t have a house; he hides from the winter cold by burying himself in the snow under the bushes. Now listen to one more riddle: Today she deftly brought cones into the pantry, Yes, on sharp branches, and hung mushrooms.
Who is this? (squirrel)
Educator: That's right, it's a squirrel. She lives in the trees and prepares supplies from cones and mushrooms. Let's try to find a squirrel in our forest and go up to it (children go with the teacher to the image of a squirrel).
What is a squirrel doing in the forest? Children: Jumps through trees, collects cones and mushrooms. Educator: Well done, where does she put them? Children: To the house. Educator: Who knows what the squirrel’s house is called? (children's answers) That's right, hollow. The squirrel carries its supplies into a hollow, which is located in a tree, so that in winter it will not be cold and hungry. What do you think, does the squirrel change its coat for a winter one?
Children: Yes. Educator: Well done! Look, the squirrel changes its coat from red to gray (the teacher shows an illustration). Now listen to another riddle: Cunning head, Red-haired cheat, Fluffy tail - beauty, Who is it?
(fox)
Educator: Yes, this is a fox, she is red, very cunning and has a fluffy tail. Let's approach her quietly on tiptoes so that she doesn't notice us.
What is a fox doing in the forest? (children's answers are listened to). The fox has a keen sense of smell, even through the snow she senses where the burrows of hedgehogs and mice are, so she hunts for them, and even manages to scare bunnies. Where does the fox live? Children: In the hole. Educator: That's right, look at her mink.
Here's another riddle for you: He is big and clumsy, Club-footed and funny, He lives in a dense forest, He loves fragrant honey very much.
(bear) Well done, it's a bear.
He is big, club-footed and lives in the forest. Where is the bear, why is it not visible in the forest? Children: He's sleeping. Educator: Where does the bear sleep? Children: In the den. Educator: Yes, guys, a bear was walking through the forest, walking, there were no raspberries or strawberries here, what should he do? Nothing. So the bear decided to lie down to sleep in his den for the whole winter. He brought some dry leaves there to keep warm and fell asleep.
Let's move away from the “den” (picture of a bear in a den) so as not to wake him up. Look around, who else have we not noticed?
Children: Wolf! (together with the teacher they go to the image of a wolf). We just won’t get too close to him, because he’s very angry. Educator: Look, what color is his fur coat? Children: Gray. Educator: Well done! In winter, wolves gather in packs and walk in a chain (the teacher shows an illustration of a pack of wolves).
Wolves usually make their den among the roots. Wolves also run very quickly through the snow and catch their prey: hares and foxes. How many animals we saw in the forest! But it's time for us to return to kindergarten. Get on the “train” and let’s go to the group (Outdoor game “Train”). Here we are! Did you like it in the forest? Children: Yes! Educator: I really liked it too! Let's now play the game "Who lives where." You and I will need to place each animal in its own “house”. Otherwise, the animals all played together and lost their homes. Shall we help them? Children: Yes! The teacher invites the children to choose a picture of any animal (wolf, fox, hare, bear, squirrel) and bring it to the house (mink, bush, den, hollow). During the game, if the children have difficulties, the teacher helps the children. The teacher also asks questions: “Which animal did you choose?”, “What is the name of its house?”, “What color is this animal’s coat?” Educator: Well done. Well, we looked at how animals prepare for winter. We found out which animal has which home. Let's remember who we saw in the forest? Children: Squirrel, hare, fox, wolf and bear. Educator: What were the animals doing in the forest? Children: The bunny was jumping, the bear was sleeping, the squirrel was collecting nuts, the wolf and the fox were running. Educator: How did the animals prepare for the cold? Children: The hare changed his fur coat to white, the squirrel to gray, and the bear fell asleep in the den. Educator: Well done, guys! Everyone remembers! I really liked the way you behaved in the forest: you didn’t make noise, you walked carefully so as not to scare the animals, you didn’t come close to dangerous animals!

What else should I add?
Using the same principle, you need to think through questions and answers on all topics. Within the framework of the article, I don’t see the point in writing “cheat sheets” on each topic. It’s actually not difficult, the main thing is to know what to talk about with your children. If you really don’t have time, you can buy ready-made cards.
Conversations with children of the senior and preparatory groups are carried out as a separate type of educational process and as during other types of activities.
For the younger and middle groups, it is better to talk with children during walks, art classes, etc. And be sure to use life situations to instill in children a reasonable and caring attitude towards the world around them. And let’s not forget to include parents in the work; we consult with them and talk about the same topic.
I hope my tips were useful? If so, share with those who may also find them useful, and please subscribe to the news.
Sincerely, Tatyana Sukhikh! Till tomorrow!

V.: Oh, look, someone is coming towards us. Who is this?
V.: This is a hedgehog.
V.: Why are you a hedgehog, so sad?
Y.: The tourists who came to my forest did not remove the garbage after themselves, burned a fire, cut down trees, and played loud music. And from all this, all the animals and birds ran away, and the forest lost its colors, everything became white and black.
V.: Maybe we can help you? Shall we help you guys?
Y.: Okay, but you will have to complete many tasks. Can you handle it?
V.: Guys, first we must show the Hedgehog that we can revive trees.
Q: Let's remember what time of year it is now? (Autumn.)
