How to carry out GCD on the surrounding world in a preparatory group?
Continuous educational activities should develop children's social, communication and speech skills, reveal their individuality, encourage them to learn, explore the region around them, and be interested in things that are important and interesting to them. Training should be carried out using the conversational method (lexical and speech therapy), answering children’s questions.

For continuous educational activities on the world around them for children aged 6–7 years, it is necessary to choose topics that are directly related to the world that surrounds them, so that the children understand the objects of the lessons. Even in childhood, it is necessary to draw the child’s attention to environmental problems and point out ways to solve them, so that this knowledge will find a response in adulthood.

Teaching methods and objectives of the lesson in the preparatory group on the topic “Living and inanimate nature”
The topic “Living and Inanimate Nature”, like no other, shows how close the relationship is between all processes and creatures in nature on Earth. Using this example, it is convenient to show children the impact of air, water, and soil pollution on the lives of not only animals and plants, but also people, and to achieve maximum understanding on their part. Planning and understanding by children of environmental problems and the desire to correct them in order to live on a clean planet is one of the main objectives of the lesson.
