How does a wolf prepare for winter? Late autumn. Wild animals preparing for winter Drawing of animals preparing for winter

In winter, the amount of food decreases significantly, which is why most animals begin to prepare for the cold in the fall, and some begin to prepare food in the summer. Rodents are the first to collect supplies:

• mice,
• chipmunks,
• grandmas.

Already in the summer, they search throughout the forest for seeds and nuts, depositing them in burrows. This gives them the opportunity to sit in their house all winter and not go outside. During cold weather, rodents sleep almost all the time, interrupting their sleep only to eat.

Who isn't afraid of frost?

Foxes, hares and wolves practically do not prepare for frosts, as they spend the winter on their feet in search of food. The bunnies just change their clothes: they change their gray fur coat to a white one so that predators do not notice them on the snow carpet. It is very interesting to watch how animals prepare for winter, because everyone has their own secret.

Foxes and wolves

Foxes and wolves do not change the color of their coats, but their fur becomes thicker and fluffier: this makes it easier to survive severe frosts. Wolves gather in packs because it is much more convenient to survive in winter. Sly foxes look for any holes to rest and hide from the snowstorm.

Beavers and squirrels

Squirrels and beavers do not hibernate, but they are trained responsibly. Beavers live in large families, all together they build cozy houses near ponds, next to which they put their food - twigs from trees. They also feed on the roots of plants that grow in water.

I wonder how a squirrel prepares for winter? Red-haired forest dwellers do not hibernate, although they spend most of their time in their homes - hollows that they build high in the trees.

This rodent changes the color of its coat from red to grayish to camouflage itself from predators. What does a squirrel eat in winter? During the cold season, this rodent stocks up with the following belongings:

• acorns,
• mushrooms,
• nuts,
• seeds.

Let's talk about the bear

Bears set up their home in advance. They look for caves, ditches, where they carry leaves, branches, moss, and make a soft mattress on top from spruce branches. When snow falls, it masks the bear's hiding place and keeps it warm.

Bears do not store food, but in the fall they actively feed on nuts and fish in order to accumulate as much fat as possible for the winter. In fact, the predator does not sleep, but dozes, and if necessary, it can leave the den. It is in winter that a mother bear gives birth to small cubs.

This is how animals spend the winter. Some sleep all winter, others try to stay warm and find food for themselves. But you can learn a lot more interesting things about animals, birds and insects.

Educator - Guys, I suggest you take a trip through the seasons (picture “Seasons”)

Here is summer and autumn, winter and spring,

Spring comes - the forests turn green,

And bird voices are ringing everywhere.

Red - summer has come - everything is in bloom

And ripe berries ask to be eaten in the mouth.

Yellow autumn will color our garden

Beautiful leaves they fly with the wind.

Winter covers the fields with snow

AND blue the earth sleeps.

Now let's play a little.

Game "When it happens."

Children have colored cards. Blue cards mean winter, green cards mean spring, red cards mean summer, yellow cards mean autumn.

Educator “I’ll tell you riddles, and you’ll show me the answers.”

Snow on the fields

Ice on the waters
The blizzard is walking.

When does this happen?

Answer: In winter

The snowball is melting

The meadow came to life.
The day is coming.

When does this happen?

Answer: In the spring

The sun is burning,

Linden blossoms.
The rye is ripening

When does this happen?

Answer: In the summer

Empty fields
The ground gets wet
The rain is pouring down.
When does this happen?

Answer: Autumn

Children accompany their answers by holding up cards.

Educator - What time of year is it now? What signs of autumn do you know?

(The sky is gray and gloomy; the sun shines less often, is not so warm; it rains often; the leaves turn yellow and fall; people dress warmly; birds fly away to warm regions).

The story is accompanied by the display of visual symbols (pictures).

A conversation about how animals prepare for winter.

Educator - Yes, you correctly named all the signs of autumn, we were harvesting, put on warm clothes - we are ready for winter. Interesting, huh? forest animals preparing for frost. Let's figure it out.

The teacher asks riddles as they are guessed, and posts images of animals (pictures).

1.Riddle:

Lying between the trees
Pillow with needles.
She lay quietly
Then suddenly she ran away.

Answer: Hedgehog

Educator - The back, sides and even part of the hedgehog's head are covered with sharp needles.

Why do you think? (children's answers)

In the fall, a hedgehog prepares a burrow for itself, insulating it with moss and dry leaves.

It will choose a place where dry leaves curl up into a ball and begin to roll on them. He will collect the leaves on his thorns, run to the hole, get rid of these leaves and run again.

What does a hedgehog eat? (children's answers)

Hedgehogs hunt at night, in the fall they feed heavily and get fat - they are preparing for winter. To lie down in a hole and sleep until spring. The hedgehog sleeps in winter.

2. Riddle

The owner of the forest wakes up in the spring,
And in winter, under the blizzard howl,
He sleeps in a snow hut.

Answer: Bear

Educator - The bear is also called clubfoot, this is true, you can see it if you look at its tracks: it puts its paws with its heels outward.

What does a bear eat all summer and autumn? (children's answers)

Is the bear stocking up for the winter? Why? (children's answers)

So the bear, like a hedgehog, has to eat up and gain fat throughout the cold winter.

Where does a bear sleep all winter? (in the den)

But the bear's sleep is very sensitive; it rather does not sleep, but dozes and hears everything that is happening around. Therefore, make noise in winter forest No need. In winter, the den will be covered with a blanket of snow, and the bear will be warm in it.

And here is another forest dweller.

3.Riddle: Who is cold in winter

Walking around angry and hungry?

Answer: Wolf

Educator - The wolf is also preparing for winter. Its fur grows over the summer and autumn and becomes very thick and warm. The wolf needs this, because he sleeps right in the snow, covering his nose and paws with his tail. Wolves live in families in winter - this is wolf pack. They sleep during the day and hunt at night. There is an expression: “The legs feed the wolf.” Indeed, he runs many kilometers in search of food. The wolf has wide, strong paws.

What does a wolf eat? (children's answers)

4.Riddle: A cunning cheat,

red head,

A fluffy tail is a beauty,

And her name is...

Answer: Fox

Educator - The fox walks quietly, inaudibly. In winter, the fox grows thick fur on its paws,so that it's not cold. The fox walks as if wearing felt boots.

What does a fox eat? (children's answers)

She loves to get mice out from under the snow. The fox has good hearing, she will hear mice fiddling around under the snow, squeaking and starting to rake with their paws.

Educator - What do you guys think, why don’t the wolf and the fox need to change the color of their fur coat?

5.Riddle: A ball of fluff,

Long ear.

Jumps deftly

Loves carrots.Answer: Hare

Educator - The hare changes colorfur coats What was it like in the summer, and by winter?

Interestingly, he changes the color of his fur coat. First the tail turns white, then the hind legs. Look at this hare, it’s as if he’s wearing white pants. Then the back turns white, followed by the ears, but not to the very tips: they remain black.

Why does a hare change his fur coat? (children's answers)

Who is the hare afraid of, from whom is he hiding? (children's answers)

How does a hare escape?(children's answers)

What helps the hare run so fast?(children's answers)

Where is the rabbit's house? (children's answers)

The hare never digs a hole for itself. During the day he sleeps under a bush. In severe frosts, he buries himself in a snowdrift - it’s warmer there. At night the hare comes out to get food.

Which one? (children's answers)

6. Riddle Who gnawed the pine cones on the branch

And threw the scraps down?

Who deftly jumps through the Christmas trees?

And flies up into the oak trees?

She changed her fur coat for a warmer one.

Why do you think the color of the fur coat became different? (children's answers)

What reserves does a squirrel make for the winter? (children's answers)

The squirrel spends its entire life in trees. It comes down to the ground only to pick a mushroom. And up again. The squirrel dries the mushrooms by sticking them on sharp branches, and hides the nuts in holes that she digs herself among the bushes. If you come across such a pantry, do not touch it, the squirrels need these nuts more.

Tell me, what kind of tail does a squirrel have? (children's answers)

The squirrel's tail is like a parachute. The squirrel will jump from tree to tree, fluff its tail and smoothly descend onto the branch.

What is the name of a squirrel's house? (children's answers)

7. Reflection.

What signs of autumn do you know?

What wild animals were we talking about?

What new did you learn?

Did you like the lesson?

In winter, wild animals have a hard time. Everyone has their own plan for how to survive the winter; they prepare for severe frosts in different ways. Someone is stocking up on food, someone is changing clothes, and someone is preparing a warm home for themselves.

How squirrels prepare for winter

Squirrels prepare for winter throughout the year. They stock up on nuts, acorns, mushrooms, berries, and pine cones, since they eat only plant foods. They carefully dry the obtained food on branches and stumps and store it in their home. Squirrels overwinter in hollows, but do not hibernate. They do not tolerate frost well, so most of the time winter time they spend in their houses. Squirrels equip the hollow in advance with tree bark, moss, found feathers, etc. In winter, squirrels change their color from red to grayish for camouflage purposes.

How beavers prepare for winter

Beavers prepare their homes in advance. They can place it at water level or underwater. To do this, they take down sticks and branches, which are masterfully tied with seaweed, grass or held together with clay. The house built by beavers under the ice is warm and safe. They do not freeze in water in winter because their fur coat is waterproof. Beavers pre-prepare their food for the winter. In winter, they do not hibernate, but reduce their activity, while feeding on food.

How badgers prepare for winter

Winter is a difficult period in life for badgers; they do not tolerate low temperatures well. The beginning of autumn is characterized by badgers preparing their homes and collecting food for the winter. In order to survive the winter, they equip their burrow with grasses, branches, moss, etc. From food they stock up on nuts, acorns, plants, seeds, etc. They are sensitive to frost. They spend the winter passively in the burrow, eating supplies.

How do hares prepare for winter?

Hares do not set up burrows and do not store food for the winter. They endure severe frosts on their paws. As a camouflage, starting in autumn, hares change color from gray on white. This gives them the opportunity to camouflage themselves from predators against the backdrop of snow. Well, if a wolf or fox notices him, he quickly tries to escape. Winter behavior also includes digging temporary holes in snow or hay. In such burrows he rests and gains strength.

How foxes prepare for winter

Preparation for winter begins with insulating your fur coat. Their fur becomes thick, fluffy, and bright. It perfectly protects them from severe frosts. Foxes live in burrows all year round. Often the place for digging a hole is some kind of hill. So that the fox could survey the entire forest. If she has moved far from her hole and a strong snowstorm begins, the fox may temporarily settle in another abandoned hole. Before returning to the hole, she carefully covers her tracks. The fox does not stock up for the winter, but regularly goes hunting. Its prey most often are rodents. In the absence of meat, she can eat berries or vegetables found. Nature has it this way that in winter, foxes have a reduced metabolism. Subcutaneous fat is wasted on keeping them warm in severe frosts. Fluffy paws allow foxes to move silently when hunting prey. The fox is resistant to severe frosts.

How wolves prepare for winter

Wolves endure winter easily. As the weather gets colder, their fur becomes longer and fluffier. It warms them perfectly in severe frosts. They often run out onto roads and trails to make their running easier. Wolves have characteristic feature- uniting in a flock. In a flock, they easily catch prey within a radius of 30-60 km, then eat it together. On average, a pack consists of 7-12 wolves.

How bears prepare for winter

With the arrival of autumn, the bear is puzzled by finding and preparing housing for the winter. An ideal den would be a crevice in the mountain, a hole in the ground. He carefully insulates it with branches, leaves, moss, etc. Before hibernating, the bear eats at an accelerated pace subcutaneous fat. This fat is gradually lost throughout the winter. During a thaw, a bear may wake up for several days and begin searching for food.

Wild animals prepare for and survive winter in different ways. Some people live through severe frosts on the move, others sit them out by hiding in their homes, while others hibernate. Nature has wisely distributed features to all animals.

I'm not a fan of cold weather and snowdrifts. Looking at the bare trees outside the window, you want to wrap yourself in warm blanket and watch your favorite movie over a mug of hot tea. New Year– this is the only thing that makes me happy in winter. My cat is also trying to find warm place in the apartment. He definitely wouldn't have survived the winter in wildlife. There is no one to take care of the animals there. No one will feed them in the morning; they can only rely on themselves. But nature has provided them with everything they need to successfully survive the winter and welcome spring.

Who is the first to start preparing for winter?

Winter- this is the most difficult period for animals. With the onset of cold weather, the amount of food decreases significantly, so you need prepare for winter in advance. Some people start stocking up with the onset of autumn, while others are already summer time thinking about preparing food for the winter. The very first start stocking up on food rodents:

• chipmunks;
• mice;
• babaki (marmots).

Even in the warm summer, they collect seeds and nuts everywhere. They attribute all finds to their burrows, where they store all their winter supplies. Having taken care of winter in the summer, rodents do not even leave their holes in cold weather. Practically they sleep all winter, wake up only to refresh themselves.

Which animal is not afraid of cold weather?

Not all animals are thoroughly prepared for winter period. For example, foxes, hares and wolves They change almost nothing in their lifestyle with the onset of frost. Some changes only occur with coat in these representatives of the animal world.

Hares change their gray coat to white. This allows them to remain less noticeable in snowy forest. Wolves and foxes do not change color, but their coats become thicker with the onset of winter. That is why frosts are not scary for them. Foxes, when strong snowstorms rage, look for holes to wait out this time.

How do hedgehogs spend the winter?

Hedgehogs prepare very carefully for winter. For wintering they are looking suitable hole. Usually their burrows are located at a depth of about a meter. Hedgehogs sleep in winter, like, for example, bears. Before the onset of winter, the hedgehog must eat well in order to accumulate enough fatA. If he does not do this, then he may not live to see spring.

At the beginning of winter, hedgehogs do not sleep very soundly, and if they are disturbed, they wake up very quickly. The lower the air temperature, the better the hedgehog's sleep. At this time everything processes in his body slow down. A hedgehog can sleep for up to 240 days. He will wake up in the spring, when fat reserves run out and food sources reappear. Probably, our country hedgehog has already begun preparing for winter. :)

comparison of wild and domestic animals,

comparison of herbivores and carnivores,

conversation about how wild animals getting ready for winter

looking at illustrations of wild animals,

guessing riddles about wild animals, reading stories about animals

Material: Subject pictures (wild animals), subject pictures (how animals prepare for winter), colored pencils, paper.

PROGRESS OF THE CLASS

(Children stand in a semicircle)

TEACHER: Today, children, I decided to read you an excerpt from E. Trutneva’s poem “Autumn.”

Suddenly it became twice as bright,

The yard is like in sun rays -

This dress is golden

On the shoulders of a birch tree.

In the morning we go to the yard -

Leaves are falling like rain,

They rustle underfoot

And they fly, fly, fly...

What time of year was the poem talking about?

Children's answers (About autumn)

Name the autumn months.

Children's answers (September, October, November)

How do you understand the expression “leaves fall like rain”?

Answers children . The leaves are falling.

What signs of autumn do you know?

Children's answers: In autumn the sun shines, but heats weakly. The day becomes shorter than the night. The sky in autumn is gray, cloudy, gloomy. The leaves on the trees become colorful. The leaves are starting to fall. Migratory birds They fly away to warmer climes, and those who spend the winter stay with us. Wild animals are preparing for winter.

TEACHER: What wild animals of Bashkortostan do you know?

Children's answers: Fox, bear, hedgehog, squirrel, wolf, elk, hare, wild boar, lynx.

Educator: Why do we call these animals wild?

Children's answers: Because they live in the forest, and people don't take care of them. Because they take care of themselves and live in the wild.

Educator: Children, I suggest you remember where wild animals live in the forest. (Conducted didactic game"Who Lives Where")

TEACHER: Where does the squirrel live? (the squirrel lives in a hollow).

Where does the bear live? (the bear lives in a den).

Where does the fox live? (The fox lives in a hole).

Where does the wolf live? (The wolf lives in a den).

Where does the hedgehog live? (the hedgehog lives in a nest of leaves).

Where does moose live? (The elk lives in the thicket of the forest.)

TEACHER : Well done, children, don’t forget how wild animals adapted to live in the forest without human help. What season follows autumn?

Children's answers: (winter will come after autumn)

Educator: That's right, after autumn comes winter. Winter is a very difficult, cold season. In winter, it is very difficult for wild animals in the forest: it is cold, there is little food. Therefore, wild animals prepare for winter. But first, let's do a warm-up, we children also need to get ready for school. Finger gymnastics is carried out: “Animals that we can show.”

Children approach the board on which there are pictures of wild animals.

Oh, hear, someone is knocking on our door. Quiet. I'll take a look now. Children, Dunno has come to us. He says that he also wants to know how animals prepare for winter. Shall we tell Dunno? Sit down, Dunno, make yourself comfortable and listen.

Children, I give you a magic ball that can record our conversation. Then we will give it to Dunno, in case he forgets something, puts it to his ear and hears your stories again. Pass the ball carefully, slowly. As soon as you hear the word stop, start a story about how wild animals prepare for winter.

The teacher holds a ball and tells how moose winter: moose go far into the thicket of the forest, where there is a lot of bushes and dead wood, where the cold wind subsides and it is easier to endure the cold, where it is difficult for predatory animals to get through. Dense fur prevents predators from moving through thick dead wood, and elk spend the winter in safety.

The teacher passes the ball to the children.

CHILDREN: Squirrel In summer and autumn he makes supplies for the winter, hides cones and nuts in his forest pantries, dried mushrooms. She arranges forest storerooms in an old hollow left by a hardworking woodpecker. By winter, the squirrel's fur coat changes color and thickness.

Hare changes his gray fur coat to a white, warmer one. He does this to keep him warm in winter and to be invisible in the snow. After all, the bunny has a lot of enemies. This is a fox, a wolf, an owl, and a marten. If in the summer the bunny grazed the grass to his heart's content, and in the fall he feasted on juicy cabbage and carrots, then in the winter he has a hard time, all that remains is the bark of trees and branches of bushes sticking out from under the snow.

Hedgehog in the fall he eats heartily in order to accumulate under his prickly coat a lot of fat, because in winter it hibernates and needs to sleep peacefully all winter. The hedgehog chooses a convenient hole, or a small hollow, somewhere under a spreading tree, wraps itself in leaves and falls asleep, waiting to be covered with snow.

TO THE BEAR You also need to eat well, accumulate more fat under the skin in order to sleep peacefully all winter. The bear makes a den for itself in a small ravine, throwing a tree over it and throwing dry dead wood over it. He climbs inside and falls asleep. When snow falls and the ravine fills up, the bear becomes warm and comfortable.

TEACHER: Guys, the fox and the wolf are not preparing for winter, why aren’t these animals preparing for winter? (they are predators and therefore are always looking for food).

Yes, it’s not easy for wild animals in the forest in winter. Well, Dunno, get the magic ball and run, tell me what you learned. Children, Dunno thanked you, say goodbye to Dunno.

It's time for us to play.

Physical education minute:

The hares are jumping hop-hop-hop!

Yes to the white snow,

They sit down and listen -

Is there a wolf coming?

Once - bent, straightened up,

Two - bent over, stretched,

Three nods of the head, stood up, jump to the side. We stood, looked and sat down.

TEACHER: Come to the tables. Children, wild animals have prepared some mushroom gifts for you. Treats - wild animals were allowed to give tea to anyone who could name words - definitions for animals. (Children say - which one, which one, choosing pictures with wild animals on the board, removing the pictures after the answer).

The TEACHER calls the children. Children give definition words:

The squirrel is caring, hardworking, busy, nimble, dexterous.

Hare - cowardly, fearful, timid, white, gray,

Bear - clumsy, clumsy, clumsy

Hedgehog - prickly, brave, courageous, courageous.

Lynx - dexterous, fast, brave, sensitive.

Elk - big, strong, fast, herbivore

The wolf is fast, angry, gray, toothy.

The fox is beautiful, fluffy, careful, cunning, fast.

Educator: Children, name the herbivorous wild animals of Bashkortostan. (Hare, elk, squirrel).

What wild predatory animals of Bashkortostan do you know? (wolf, fox, lynx, hedgehog).

Do you think there should be fewer predatory animals than herbivores or more?

Children's answers : There should be fewer predatory animals.

Educator: Such relationships are expressed in the form of various pyramids, which are called “ecological pyramids”.

In order for herbivores to eat, there must be more blades of grass than herbivores. Therefore, the grass strip is longer than the herbivore strip, and there are fewer herbivores than grass. Well, carnivores are not averse to eating herbivores for lunch. They are bigger and stronger and need to eat a lot of herbivores. Therefore in the forest

There must be more herbivores than predators so that there is enough food for everyone. This creates a pyramid. To summarize: in order for everyone to have enough food, there must be more grass than herbivores, and there must be more herbivores than wild predatory animals. (An ecological pyramid is laid out on the board.)
