Target: will introduce children to the world of wild animal forest, help develop visual memory, teach the basics of associative thinking.

Study of animals and their footprints helps kids to delve deeper into the world of nature. You can tell how some animals have learned to hide their traces and confuse them; what is it in traces experienced hunters are looking for their prey. You can think about in which case, at what time of the year traces are more visible. Children understanding the importance of knowledge animal footprints for an animal or a person who finds himself in the forest, they acquire a desire to study them.

Animal footprints for children become interesting if it is possible to compare the image animal and drawing of its footprints. I try to give the guys this opportunity, using colorful cards. small pathfinders happy to compare photos of animals, plates with their names and contours traces. With smaller children, you can compare sizes traces and their owners: little track- small paw - small animal

Many animals live around us, but most people have seen only stray dogs and cats walking on the street just like that. Wild animals are very cautious and even hiding in the forest it is not always possible to notice them. The forest inhabitants have a good sense of smell and they can smell you for several kilometers. They will not show themselves, because they are afraid of a person. But you can always see animal tracks in the snow, wet ground or sand. Like in a cartoon about Masha and the Bear: "And who went? Bunny?" Now we will reveal to you all the secrets of the footprints.

Animal footprints

The hare has long hind legs, and therefore the footprint of the hind leg is also long. This is when the bunny is not particularly in a hurry. But when he flies away with all his might, the tracks are indistinguishable, only a couple of pits at a jump distance.

The trace of a squirrel is splayed fingers. The footprint of the hind foot is again longer than the front.

The footprint of a deer or roe deer is a hoof print, and not a simple one, but a paired one, because there are 2 hooves on the leg. No wonder deer are called artiodactyls.

The boar is also an artiodactyl. Its track is slightly similar to that of a deer, but wider and shorter.

Weasel's paws are small, but wide, and the footprints are wide.

The badger has similar footprints, but is larger.

See the little dog's footprint? It could be a fox.

And if the tracks are large, then perhaps a gray wolf has been here before you.

And it is quite rare to see the traces of a clubfoot bear.

Now, walking in the winter forest, you can find out what animals live here.

Each of us likes to walk in the forest and disassemble the tracks of animals. It's such a fun activity, especially for kids!

Let's think we, adults, are we so good at understanding the tracks of animals?

Probably not.

Many of us have not been out in the forest for a long time and can only distinguish the tracks of a cat from a dog.

Sad, isn't it? I would not want such civilized "savages" who are not familiar with the surrounding nature to grow up among children. Let's study the traces of wild animals together with the kids, and colorful pictures will help us in this.

Game "Guess the tracks"

I want to invite you today to introduce the kids to the traces of wild animals.

This game:

1. - develops logical thinking,
2. - introduces the child to wild animals,
3. - well trains the memory and fine motor skills of the fingers of children.

So, in front of you are the cards themselves - you will need to print them, laminate or paste them with tape, cut them into pieces. Now you can play. Show the baby the footprints of an animal, and then show the picture of the animal itself and explain that these are its footprints. After the baby learns well whose particular traces, you can invite him to play. For example, you show him the tracks of wild animals and offer him to choose from two options for animals whose tracks these are, you can gradually add more and more cards until the baby begins to lay out all the cards on his own.

For primary school teachers, kindergarten teachers, such a game is a great opportunity not only to keep children busy, but also to teach them new knowledge and skills. Pictures with footprints and animals can be used in nature studies lessons and even build homework for children on this. Invite the children to draw the footprints of animals on their own. When they bring the pictures to class, have the other children try to guess which animal the footprints are.

Other options for pictures for games

English alphabet with traces of animals.

Developing fantasy

There are many animals in the world, and it is very difficult to cover everyone on cards and pictures. When you and the guys have mastered the tracks of the animals proposed in the manual, play the next game. Take pictures of some rare species of animals for children. Try to imagine what their footprints will look like, what kind of paws they have. Various books about exotic countries and the natural environment can help you with this.

And now the task for the children: let them try to draw the tracks of the proposed animals.

How would you recognize this beast if it walked on the ground?

This exercise:

1. - develops imagination;
2. - improves logical thinking;
3. - promotes perseverance and attentiveness, because the child needs not only to come up with and justify his choice, but also to draw traces.

You can arrange a competition for children: who will draw the tracks of their animal faster and more correctly (before the start of the competition, pictures of animals are distributed to the children).

If the pictures are used in a classroom lesson or at a nature conservation themed party, a team competition would look great. To do this, you need to lay out pictures with traces on the floor in the classroom. Images of animals (selected in accordance with the footprints) are divided into piles according to the number of teams and distributed to children. Before starting the game, give the guys the opportunity to think carefully, and then note the time. For the specified time period (depending on the number of tasks), children must find traces of their animals and combine the pictures. The team that completes the task the fastest wins. It goes without saying that it is necessary to thoroughly familiarize children with the traces of animals in advance, otherwise the competition will not work, or the children will quickly lose interest.

conclusions

So, pictures with animal tracks can be an excellent tool for teaching children to communicate with the natural environment. It will be nice after a series of lessons to consolidate the knowledge gained in practice. Organize a trip to the forest for the children, take a look at what animals and birds leave their traces there.

The zoo can also be a useful object of observation, but the tracks there are much harder to spot. In this case, the trip can only be introductory.

Subject: Introductory lesson. Bunny is a runaway. The game "Guess whose trace."

Goals and objectives: to consolidate and expand the idea of ​​​​hares, a hare family, using fiction; introduce the words denoting different hares: “hare”, “hare”, “hare”, “hare”, “hare”; work out opposite concepts related to the characteristics of a bunny: sad - cheerful; brave - cowardly; short - long; summer - winter; gray - white.

Lesson progress:

With magic words, we open a magic chest. And there is a bunny in it. Children get to know him, call his name, stroke the bunny, examine him.

What does a bunny look like? What fur, paws, ears, nose, eyes ...

- All hares have long ears and a short tail (we show with pens).

- Our bunny is small, but there are big hares. (We show with our hands - small, large.) They are called differently: small ones - a bunny, a hare, a hare, a hare, a hare; large - hare, hare, hare.

- What is the name of the father in the hare family? How about mom? How about kids? (We pronounce, emphasizing each name with intonation: affectionately, playfully, firmly, softly.)

Here is the story about the bunny that the children's writer B. Zakhoder told us. I will read you a fairy tale by B. Zakhoder "The Little Mermaid".

Once upon a time there was a little bunny named Rusachok, and he had a familiar Tadpole.
The bunny lived on the edge of the forest, and the Tadpole lived in the pond.
Sometimes they meet - the Tadpole wags its tail, the Little Mermaid drums with its paws.
Little Mermaid to him - about carrots, and Tadpole - about algae. Fun!
Here somehow the Little Mermaid comes to the pond - look, look, but the Tadpole is not there. How to sink into the water!
And on the shore some frog sits.
- Hey, Frog, - says Rusachok, - have you seen my friend Tadpole?
- No, I didn’t see it, - the Frog answers, and he laughs: - Hwa-hwa-hwa!
- Why are you laughing, - Rusachok was offended, - my friend has disappeared, and you are laughing! Oh you!
- Yes, not me "eh", - says the Frog, - but you "eh"! You don't know yours! This is what I am!
- What do you mean - me? - Rusachok was surprised.
- I am your friend Tadpole!
- You? - Rusachok was even more surprised. - It can't be! The Tadpole even had a tail, but what about you? You don't even look like one!
- You never know what does not look like, - answers the Frog, - but still it's me! I just grew up - and turned into a Frog. It always happens!
- That's the thing, - says Rusachok. - Always, you say, it happens?
- Of course, always! Everything is like this: as they grow, so they will turn! From a worm - a mosquito or a beetle will turn out there, from an egg - a fish, and from a Tadpole - a well-known thing - a Frog! There are even verses like this:

The tadpoles are in a hurry
Turn into frogs!

Well, here Rusachok finally believed him.
“Thank you for saying,” he says. - There is something to think about!
And they parted ways.
Rusachok came home and asked his mother:
- Mom! Will I grow up soon?
“Soon, soon, son,” Mom says. - As the leaves turn yellow - you will be big! We rabbits are growing fast!
Who will I become?
- What do you mean - who will I turn into? Mom didn't understand.
- Well, what will I be when I grow up?
- Of course, by whom, - mom answers, - you will become a big, beautiful hare, like your dad!
- Like Dad? Well, we'll see about that! - said Rusachok.
And he ran, went to see who he could turn into.
“I’ll look,” he thinks, “at everyone who lives in the forest: whoever I like more, I’ll become!”
Small but smart! He walks through the forest, and all around the birds sing.
“Oh,” the Little Mermaid thinks, “but shouldn’t I become a bird too?
As soon as he thought this, he sees: a bird is sitting on a branch. A wonderful bird: bigger than a hare, black feathers, red eyebrows and sings wonderfully:
- Boo Boo Boo! Chufy-chufy!
- Aunty bird! Rusak screams. - What is your name?
- Chufy-chufy! - Capercaillie answers (that's what he was).
- Uncle Chufyk, how can I become a bird?
- Chufy-chufy! - Capercaillie answers.
“I want to turn into a bird,” Rusachok explains.
And he is all his own:
- Boo Boo Boo! Chufy-chufy.
"He doesn't hear, does he?" - thought the Little Mermaid, and as soon as he was about to come closer, he hears: top-top, top-top!
- Hunter! Save yourself, uncle Chufyk! - shouted the Little Rusachok and barely had time to hide in the bushes, suddenly the gun would rattle like: bang! Bach!
Rusachok looked out: the air is full of smoke, feathers fly - the Hunter snatched half of the tail from the Capercaillie ... Here's a chufyk for you!
“No,” the Little Rusachok thinks, “I won’t be a Glukhar: he sings well, loudly, but he doesn’t hear anyone; here it’s not long to lose his tail ... Our business is to keep our ears on top of our heads!”
He galloped and ran on, and for courage he himself sang a song - the Brave Hare song:

One, two, three, four, five -
Went for a walk Hunter!
Suddenly the Bunny runs out
And let's shoot him!
Pif! Puff! Oh oh oh!
My hunter has escaped!
I sang - my heart became more cheerful.

He sees - Squirrel jumps from branch to branch.
“He jumps great,” thinks the Little Rusachok, “not worse than me! But shouldn’t I become a Squirrel?”
- Squirrel, Squirrel, - says, - come here!
Squirrel jumped to the lowest branch.
- Hello, Rusachok, - he says, - what do you want?
- Tell me, please, how do you, squirrels, live, - the Rusachok asks, - otherwise I decided to become a Squirrel!
“Well, it’s a good thing,” Belka says. - We live perfectly: we jump from branch to branch, we peel cones, we gnaw nuts. There are only a lot of worries: arrange a nest, collect a supply for the winter - mushrooms and nuts ... Well, nothing, when you get used to it! Climb a tree - I'll teach you all the squirrel science!
The Little Mermaid came up to the tree, and he himself thinks: "Some worries ... We, hares, live without worries, we don't build nests, we don't dig burrows ..."
He climbed a tree, but his head was spinning ...
- No, - he says, - I don't want to be a Squirrel! It's none of our business to climb trees!
Squirrel laughed, clattered, and threw a bump at him. Thanks, didn't get it.
Rusachok went further. Came to the meadow. And there is fun - mice play tag.
The Rusachok looked at them.
Suddenly - what is it: they all ran headlong away.
- A fox! A fox! - they shout.
And rightly so, the godfather Fox is coming: a red coat, a white chest, ears on top, a log tail. The beauty!
"Really, - thinks the Little Rusachok, - they were afraid of her, so beautiful! It can't be!"
He came out boldly, bowed and said:
- Hello, gossip Fox! May I ask you one thing?
- Look how brave! Lisa was surprised. - Well, ask, just live, otherwise I have a short conversation with your brother!
- I won't be long. Teach me how to become a Fox? Tell me how you live? I liked you very much!
Lisa is flattered.
- Well, - he says, - I usually live: whom I catch - I will crush, whom I will crush - I will eat it! That's all science!
Oh, how scared the Rusachka became! But he didn’t show it - he only cuts his ears.
“Here,” he says, “why everyone is afraid of you!” No, I will not become a Fox - it is not our business to offend others!
- And it’s good, - says the Fox, - otherwise, if the hares become foxes, who will we, foxes, eat?
And at the very eyes they are burning, she bared her teeth: now she will jump - and goodbye, Rusachok!
Only Rusachok didn’t even listen to her: as soon as she starts, remember her name! She runs, and says to herself: “Look what you thought up! There are live hares! This means: if I become a Fox, I have to eat myself! Well, well!”
Rusachok ran through the forest for a long time. I saw all the animals. He liked everything, except for the Wolf - he is even angrier than the Fox. Yes, but not entirely. I wanted to become a mouse - but it was painfully small and my ears were short; wanted a Hedgehog - yes it was painfully prickly, no one would stroke him, and a hare - he loves affection; Beaver wanted - yes, it is painfully wet in the river ...
He was about to become a Bear: the Bear told him that he eats honey, and honey, they say, is even sweeter than carrots - but the Rusachok did not want to sleep in a den in winter, suck his paw.
“We,” he says, “cannot do that. Our job is to run.
Run-run - ran to the forest swamp. Yes, it froze. There is a beast - all the beasts are a beast: he is big, big, bigger than the Bear, his legs are long, his ears are no worse than those of a hare, and as many as two pairs! And the eyes are kind, kind. It is worth it - it nibbles grass, it gnaws on an aspen branch. How Rusachka liked him - it's impossible to say!
He bowed low to the beast.
- Hello, uncle, - he says, - what is your name-dignify?
- Hi. Rusachok, - says the giant, - call me Elk Elk.
- And why do you, uncle, have two pairs of ears?
Elk Elk laughed.
- This, - he says, - you, apparently, took my horns by the ears!
- Why do you need horns?
“Defend yourself from the enemy,” says Elk. - From the wolf there or from someone else.
- Oh, how cool! Rusachok says. - And how do you, moose, live?
- We live normally: we gnaw branches, we pinch grass.
- Do you eat carrots?
- We also eat carrots, if we get them.
- Do you eat other animals?
“God bless you,” says Elk. - What did you think!
Here the Elk liked the Little Mermaid even more.
"I'll become Elk," he thinks.
- Don't you climb trees? - asks.
- What are you! Why is this?
- Do you run fast?
- Nothing, I'm not complaining, - Elk Elk laughs.
- And in winter you don’t sleep in a lair, don’t suck your paw?
- What am I - a Bear, or what? Elk snorted.
Well, here Rusachok completely decided to become Elk.
But just in case, I decided to ask one more thing:
- Is it possible to become Elk soon?
- Well, - says Elk Elk, - soon: you need to grow up for five or six years - and there will be a real Elk Elk from Elk!
How upset Rusachok was here - he almost cried!
- No, - he says, - it's not our business - to grow up for five years! Goodbye, Uncle Elk! Nothing comes out for me...
- Goodbye, baby, - says Elk Elk. - Do not be sad!
And Rusachok ran home. I ran to a familiar pond - yellow leaves float in the pond, and the Frog sits on a large leaf. He grew up, of course. Perhaps you can call him a Frog, but Rusachok recognized him right away anyway.
- Hello, - shouts, - the former Tadpole!
He found out, but the Frog, apparently, did not: he was frightened and dived into the water.
Rusachok was surprised. "What is it?" - thinks.
The Frog leaned out of the water and said:
- Oh you! Why do you scare people?
- Yes, not me "eh", but you "eh"! Rusachok laughed. - Why don't you, former Tadpole, recognize your own? It's me!
- What do you mean - me? - the Frog was surprised.
- Well, I'm your friend Rusachok.
“That's it,” says the Frog. - What kind of Rusachok are you? You are the real Hare-Rusak! And dived.
Rusachok looked into the water when the circles calmed down.
He sees - and it's true: he became a big, beautiful Hare. Just like dad: fluffy fur, strong paws, big eyes, and ears - neither in a fairy tale to say, nor to describe with a pen!
And he drummed with his paws. From happiness.

I read you a fairy tale by B. Zakhoder "The Little Mermaid". What kind of bunny was the bunny?

- Hares are not only cowardly and brave, but also sad and funny. (We depict those and others with facial expressions and posture.) Funny hares can make us laugh, they love to play.

Let's play with a hare:

Physical education:

A gray bunny sits and moves its ears. (with palms we show hare ears above the head)

Like this, like this, it moves its ears.

It’s cold for a bunny to sit, you need to warm up your paws (rub your palm against your palm)

Like this, like this, you need to warm up your paws.

Bunny is cold to stand, Bunny needs to jump (jumping in place)

Like this, like this, a bunny should jump.

The gray wolf came running - Bunny jumped - and rode away. (hide hands behind back)

What transformations are mentioned in the fairy tale? Can a tadpole actually turn into a frog? Does the transformation of rabbits into other animals occur in nature?

- We read a poem by I. Pivovarova "Hare":

The hare lay down on a hillock,

Decided to take a nap.

And while he slept sweetly,

The first snow fell on the ground.

Here the gray hare woke up,

Surprised:

- What's the matter?

I was gray, but I became white!

Who changed my clothes?

- Who do you think dressed him up?

Children answer who dressed the bunny (snow, winter).

- This means that hares are gray in summer, and white in winter, so that they are not visible in the snow.

Why does a bunny need to be invisible?

In winter, all the animals in the forest leave their tracks on the snow. Consider carefully the cards with traces of animals: (Appendix No. 1)

And now let's check how you remember the tracks of animals. Game "Guess whose footprint"
