What should a preschooler know about animals? Firstly, is it a wild or domestic animal, an animal of the forest, the north or Africa, that is, its habitat. Secondly, what kind of “house” does the animal live in if it is wild: it could be a hole, a den, a hollow, or the animal does not make a home for itself at all. Thirdly, what does this animal eat? A captivating story is what you need. And be sure to accompany this story about animals with pictures, because we know that visual memory is very helpful in a preschooler’s learning. Let's talk with the child about wild animals and show cards - mnemonic tables, so the kids will be better interested in the topic and remember all the details visually and figuratively.

Wild animals of the forest

Hare

The hare lives in the forest. He does not dig holes for himself, but hides in bushes, in recesses under roots, under branches, where he builds a winter hut for himself. The hare's main food is grass, hay, and young tree branches. The hare also eats vegetables, fruits and berries, if he can find them.

Fox

The fox is a wild animal. She lives in the forest, in a hole. The fox is a predatory animal. The main food of foxes is insects (beetles, earthworms) and small rodents (voles). If the fox manages to catch a hare or a bird, which does not happen very often, she will happily eat them too. Often foxes settle next to humans and steal poultry from poultry houses. Sometimes she can also feast on fish washed up on the shore. She will not disdain berries and fruits when she is hungry.

Wolf

The wolf is an animal of the forest. Wolves live in a den. Wolves hunt in packs, so they are able to catch large prey: elk, deer. The wolf will gladly treat himself to both the bird and the bunny. In hungry years, wolves can attack livestock, but this happens very rarely. Wolves are very cautious and afraid of humans.

Hedgehog

Hedgehogs live in the forest. They rarely dig holes themselves, more often they occupy someone else’s or build a nest among protruding roots, under a bush, in depressions in the ground, dragging there a lot of leaves, dry grass and moss. In winter, hedgehogs hibernate. Hedgehogs eat mainly insects. If they come across a snake, they might eat it too. Don't mind eating mushrooms, acorns, berries and fruits.

Brown bear

Brown bear is a wild animal of the forest. For the winter, the bear builds a den for itself and hibernates. The main food of bears is berries, roots, and mushrooms. If a bear finds a bird's nest, he will feast on eggs; if he finds a hive of wild bees, he will eat honey. The bear knows how to catch fish and eats it with pleasure. He can even eat a mouse if he manages to catch it. He will not disdain carrion either.

Squirrel

A squirrel lives in the forest. She finds a hollow in a tree and settles there. The squirrel eats berries, fruits, mushrooms, nuts, acorns and grains. Stores supplies for the winter, hiding them under roots or among tree branches so as not to starve in winter.

Desert Animals

Camel

Camels live in desert and semi-desert. They don't build housing. They feed on grass (both dry and fresh), tree branches, camel thorn, ephedra, wormwood, and chew saxaul branches. A camel accumulates nutrients in its humps, so it can go without food for a long time.

fennec

Fenech lives in deserts and semi-deserts. He digs himself a hole in the sand. Fennec fox is omnivorous. It feeds on insects, lizards, bird eggs, small rodents, and plant roots that can be dug up in the desert.

When the child has become acquainted with animals, their way of life, and nutrition, let him try to tell himself about what he remembers. Pictures and diagrams with an algorithm for composing a descriptive story will help with this >>

At first, you may not be able to get a coherent story, then try printing and cutting the cards above into sectors, and ask your child to arrange the pictures correctly.

Goals:
Develop the ability to recognize a bird or animal by its characteristic actions.
Improve skills in working with action symbols.
Develop visual attention, memory, activate thinking.
Description of the game. Children look at the house and determine what kind of house it is (one-story or multi-story, wooden or stone). The teacher invites the kids to guess who lives in this beautiful house. Children look at the action symbols depicted on the shutters and guess the “tenant” from them. For example: flies, builds (nest), pecks, sings. - It's a bird. The child checks the correctness of the answer by opening the shutters behind which the “tenant” is hiding. Cut the shutters on three sides, and then glue the template with the “tenants” on the back side, having previously aligned them in the window. It is advisable to laminate the template with the house with wide tape and then make cuts to avoid the shutter being torn off due to frequent opening)))).
