Progress of the lesson:
Guys, please listen to the riddle:
White snowball,
The sun is shining
Trees grow
The birds are singing
What is this riddle about?
About nature
And everything that surrounds us, what is it?
Nature
What kind of nature is there?
Nature can be living or inanimate
Please look at these pictures, what is this? (tree, cat, flower, fish, bird, person, sun, cloud, stones, water. Work on a computer and flannelgraph).
Bottom line: Everything that breathes, eats, grows is living nature.
And what does not breathe and does not grow is inanimate nature.
Today we will talk about wildlife.
Knock on the door: A magpie flies in and chirps:
Tra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta - 3 times
Soroka, what happened? What are you chattering about? What news did you bring us?
Guess the riddle:
No arms, no legs, moves around
Breathes but doesn't speak
It eats, but has no mouth.
What it is?
This is a plant.
How does a plant move, since it has neither arms nor legs? (grows, turns towards the light)
How does a plant breathe? (through leaves, roots)
How does he drink and eat? Just like us? (roots)
That's right, guys, it is the roots that feed the plant.
Where is food for the plant stored? (in the ground, soil)
Plants eat very differently from you and I, and they cannot store their food in refrigerators. Plants' nutrition is contained in the soil in which they grow. If you pull a plant out of the ground and leave it like that, it will die.
Plants move, breathe, eat. This means that we can say about them that they are living beings just like you and me.
Guys, a magpie flew into the forest, probably inviting us
Imagine, guys, imagine that we are in the forest. Trees, bushes, berries, and mushrooms grow in the forest.
Let's try to find out what benefits they bring to humans and all living things that surround us. I want to open it for you little secret, prepare your ears and we will find out what the plants are whispering to us...
Look, here are the leaves (maple, birch, oak) Game with leaves.
Trees give us the oxygen we breathe. Which fresh air in the forest, let's breathe.
Trees and shrubs in the forest can feed both people and animals; they give: wild apples, berries - raspberries, lingonberries, etc. Pines have cones, oaks have acorns, squirrels and woodpeckers feed on them.
And here is the clearing. What grows on it?
Mushrooms and berries grow on it.
_ Physical education minute:
Petals to the sun
Flowers rose.
Reached for the sun
They smiled at the sun.
Petals to the sun
The flowers are turned.
Unfurled into buds
They'll drown in the sun
She flew into a field and a vegetable garden nearby.
Tell me, what grows in the field?
Herbs, berries, flowers.
What about in the garden?
Vegetables.
Right. Let's try to guess what herbs and plants we have in the boxes ( Breathing exercises, research activities: smell dill, parsley, fireweed, lemon balm, mint, garlic). That's how many different plants we have growing.
Oh, and the magpie flew somewhere again. Where?
To our group
What time of year is it now? What trees are on the site? Is there grass? (Children's answers)
Children, it's winter now. It's cold outside. Snowing. The trees and bushes are bare, but there is no grass. It’s warm in our group and there are a lot of indoor plants that remind us of summer. - Have you seen the same plants outside in winter? (No).
Mystery:
“You meet them everywhere,
And in the flowerbed and in the pot,
Both in the park and in the garden
And even on the pond.
Will cheer you up
Greens... (plants).
That's right, guys. Such plants live only indoors, in kindergarten or at home, which is why they are called houseplants.
Pay attention to the familiar indoor plants. - What is the name of this plant? what shape are the leaves? What color are the leaves? Does a violet have a stem? (no) The violet leaves immediately from the root (show).
Indoor plants need to be looked after.
Children, now you will help me water and wipe the leaves of our indoor plants (children approach the previously prepared indoor plants).
What is this? - watering cans. How do we water indoor plants? Take them and carefully pour water around the edge of the pot. Plant leaves also breathe, so they should be wiped with a damp cloth. The child shows - put on an apron, wring out the cloth, take a wet napkin into right hand, and in left hand Place the leaf and gently wipe it with a napkin.
Children, I will introduce you to another type of caring for plants - loosening. You need to loosen the soil: deeper at the edges, and closer to the root with the end of a stick (the teacher loosens the soil). So we watered, washed the leaves, loosened the soil around the indoor plants.
1. Skillful hands - do not know boredom
2. “You can’t even pull a fish out of a pond without effort.”
3. “When you finish the job, go for a walk!
“Oh, how beautiful and well-groomed the plants have become. Now I’m sure that they will have a very good time with you.”
Children, did you enjoy caring for indoor plants? What new have you learned? How did we work?
"The tits are jumping
Under my window.
The birds rejoice -
It's nice for them
Look at this
Nice window
Where in winter there is summer,
Where there are a lot of flowers."
Creating a living corner in the nursery preschool institution It has great importance in raising children. Most often, children are introduced to nature with the help of indoor plants; educators instill in the younger generation a love for “green pets” and teach them to take care of them. Despite the huge variety of exotic flowers on sale, the choice of indoor plants for kindergarten is very limited. In addition to visual appeal, they must be especially safe for children, and also meet a number of other requirements.
General principles for selecting indoor plants in preschool educational institutions
When creating a corner of wildlife for children, you should take a responsible approach to the choice of plants and comply with a number of requirements.
- Safety. Plants containing poisonous sap, as well as varieties with thorns or berries, are not allowed to be placed in the kindergarten premises. At this age, children are particularly inquisitive, and the temptation to taste an attractive berry is very great. The following are prohibited: Dieffenbachia, nightshade, some varieties of milkweed, lilies, cacti and other plants. You should also pay attention to plants with “fluff”; a lot of dust usually accumulates on the surface of the leaves, so if there are allergy sufferers in the group, then it is better to avoid such plants. A striking example is the violet.
- Unpretentiousness to care and living conditions. Considering that ordinary employees will have to take care of the flowers, it is better not to complicate plant care. Suitable species are those that do not require frequent pruning, fertilizing or regular maintenance. high humidity air. Indoor plants suitable for this principle in preschool educational institutions: aloe without sharp thorns, nephrolepsis, pike tail etc.
- Air purification. It is worth giving preference to those types that are not only safe, but also bring tangible benefits to the health of children. Many flowers are able to purify the air of dust, absorb harmful substances and toxins. For example, chlorophytum absorbs up to 86% of hazardous human body formaldehyde, and ivy up to 90% benzene.
Selection of indoor plants depending on age group
In addition to the basic requirements, indoor plants in a kindergarten should be selected individually for each age group. If for children only external attractiveness is more important - large and bright flowers, then for older children they should select species that they could care for together with their teachers while getting involved in work.
- Junior group. For the little ones, it will be enough to place 8-10 flower pots in the room. It is desirable that they all be blooming and differ in height, size and color of flowers. For example, you can place several types of begonia, primrose, and hibiscus.
- Middle group. For older kids, you can increase the number of flowers to 12 pieces. Now it is necessary that indoor plants in preschool educational institutions have even more differences, for example, in the shape and size of leaves, and the structure of the stem. Species such as tradescantia or clivia are suitable. Children will be able to compare flowers in more detail according to their appearance.
- Senior group. The range of living corners of nature is expanding even more and every child should have access to them. At this age, educators begin to show the basic rules for caring for “green pets,” and children observe and, if possible, take part. It is recommended to grow 2-3 copies of one type of plant, so kids will be able to form a more correct idea of a specific flower.
- Preparatory group. At this age, preschoolers not only receive theoretical knowledge, but also practical knowledge. Under the guidance of teachers, they can water flowers from small watering cans, loosen the soil, spray and wipe the surface of the leaves with a damp cloth. For this reason, 2-3 indoor plants in a preschool educational institution must have large leaves so that children can easily remove dust from them. A preschooler can already independently determine when to water and spray a flower, takes the specimen he likes “under guardianship” and thus develops a sense of responsibility.
Recommendations for choosing indoor plants in preschool educational institutions depending on the interior
To develop a sense of beauty and good taste in children, it is recommended to select flowers so that they fit harmoniously into the interior of the room. It is important to consider everything from furniture upholstery and wall color to individual decorative elements. Don't forget about design flower pots, they can be either plain, bright color, and with ornament. Kids will definitely love ceramic flowerpots with decor.
It is equally important to position the plant pots correctly. Unstable flower stands should be avoided; during active play, children may drop them and get injured. It is best to place indoor plants in kindergarten on window sills or on specially equipped shelves located along the walls.
A lot of flowers are suitable for creating a living corner; below are the most popular types that do not require special care.

|
Uzumbara violet |
The lighting is intense and bright. Keeping temperature: in summer +20–25 °C, in winter +16–19 °C. Watering is regular. Air humidity is moderate, the leaves do not tolerate spraying, so it is recommended to place a wide container of water next to the flower. |
|
Pike tail |
The lighting is bright but diffuse. Keeping temperature: in summer +18–25 °C, in winter +14–16 °C. Watering is careful and moderate, scanty in winter. Once a week it is recommended to wipe the leaves with a damp fine-pored sponge or piece of cotton wool. |
List of plants that should not be kept in a living corner of a kindergarten
Knowing the principles of selecting indoor plants in a kindergarten, you can create a beautiful and educational living corner. Kids will not only get acquainted with certain types of plants, but also learn how to care for them. They learn that “green pets,” just like people, need care and attention to feel good.
Video of activities in the wildlife corner in kindergarten
In the middle group, it is necessary to develop in children the ability to see the various properties and qualities of objects and their parts. Children master more complex comparison techniques, learn to establish differences and similarities between objects, and generalize objects according to certain characteristics.
The corner in the middle group is replenished with new plants. Plants in a corner of nature should have different shapes and the size of the leaves.
Children in this group should:
Distinguish the characteristics of plants;
Know the conditions necessary for plant life;
With the help of the teacher, keep the plants clean and water them properly;
Be able to spray plants with small leaves with a spray bottle;
Use a dry brush to remove dust from pubescent leaves;
Determine the dependence of the method of caring for plants on the nature of the leaves.
Besides plants junior group, other plants are placed in the middle group. At the same time, there can be up to 6-8 species of plants in a corner of nature. It should be noted that in the middle group it is good to have different types plants of the same family. This will help teach children to recognize differences and similarities.
