Riddles about animals, a fascinating zoological loto about the animal world, for children from 6 years old, 2006.

RULES OF THE GAME.

Option I. Players are dealt large cards and are asked to identify the ecosystem (habitat) depicted on them. The child must choose from the proposed names the ones he needs (suitable for his cards). For example, this is a desert, and this is a steppe, etc. Then the presenter takes alternately small cards with the inhabitants of the Earth and reads brief descriptions of animals. If, after the reading, the animal is not guessed, then the presenter shows his image. If the player who has a card with the habitat of this animal guesses who is in question, then he takes the card for himself and puts it on the large card in the appropriate place. If the animal is guessed only by the description without a picture, then a prize token is issued. These tokens can be used to cover empty spaces on the cards. The winner is the one who first fills his cards with ecosystems.
Option II. Small animal cards are shuffled and distributed among the players. The first player lays out any card, and the next one can put next to it only a card similar in some way. For example: "seal" and "arctic fox" - live in the tundra, "hare" and "fox" - a fox hunts a hare, "peacock" and "bearded lamb" - birds, "squirrel" and "badger" - begin with " b "etc. The next player continues the logical chain. If there is no option, then the move is skipped (or you can put a prize token earned in option I of the game). The winner is the one who runs out of cards earlier.
III Option. The cards are shuffled and dealt equally between the players. First, one by one, everything is laid out, for example, birds, then mammals, reptiles, insects. The player who has run out of cards wins.

Polar owl.
There is even white plumage on the toes, something like mittens. Unlike its southern relatives, it hunts during daylight hours.

Polar bear.
The most famous polar inhabitant. Its thick white fur and thick layer of subcutaneous fat retain heat well.

Reindeer.
The only large herbivore in the tundra. Domesticated by people, it serves not only as a means of transport, clothing is made from its skins, and medicine is made from its horns.

Seal.
A thick layer of subcutaneous fat protects it from hypothermia. Newborn seals have thick and warm fur, invisible in the snow.

Playing zoological loto not only helps children remember the names of various animals, but also teaches them how to classify. After all, lotto cards, as a rule, are collected according to some principle, in accordance with a certain theme. Last time we proposed to classify animals according to the principle of "domestic - wild" (or "used on the farm - wild"), as well as according to the principle of "adult animals - baby animals".
Children five to six years old can be introduced to the classification of animals by habitat.

We play lotto with children

Zoological loto for preschool children

Animals of the same biota

ABOUT One of the methods of classification is to present animals in groups that live in one place.
It is not at all necessary, and it is not necessary to tell children the terms “biocenosis”, “biota”, or natural zone. These abstractions say little to a preschooler and do not significantly change his understanding of the world. He will get acquainted with the concept of "natural zone" in the third grade of primary school. With the concepts of "biocenosis" and "biota" - even later, in high school. Now, before entering school, it is important for a child to learn: some animals live in hot countries, others have adapted to life in the North, and others in a sandy desert. Some animals spend their whole lives in water, some on land, and some live on land, then in water at different periods of their lives. Therefore, animals can be grouped according to their habitat.

D Children of five or six years old are interested in a variety of animals - including (or especially) exotic ones, living in the most remote regions, striking in size, appearance, and behavioral features. It is not for nothing that visiting the zoo is one of the favorite children's entertainments. This childish feature can be taken into account when drawing up a lotto - to make many cards depicting the most different - familiar and unfamiliar - animals, while maintaining the condition: animals on one card have a common habitat.
Let's immediately abandon the strictly scientific approach to the words "habitat". Let us allow ourselves some errors and include in the "habitats", for example, along with such places as the Eurasian tundra or the African desert, the whole continent of Australia. Australia has a variety of natural areas. But in this case, it is more important for us that children recognize unusual animals that are characteristic only of this country. Although the emu is found in treeless areas, the koala lives exclusively in eucalyptus forests.
There is no need to introduce children to animals from all natural areas of South America. There is no need to be afraid that they will not get an idea of ​​the "system" of the animal world of this continent. The lotto game is just "casting", "bait": look how interesting it is!
Moreover, some animals of this remote continent are already known to the child. R.Kipling told about them without any scientific system - in the wonderful tale "Where did the battleships come from?" And the children probably know the song to the words of this great writer, which Sergei Nikitin still sings incendiaryly at his concerts:

“You will never find in our northern forests
Long-tailed jaguars, armored turtles. "

And here's another, classic:

“The hedgehog has grown ten times -
It turned out to be a porcupine! "

S. Marshak's poem from his "Merry Alphabet" should have horrified biologists: hedgehogs have nothing to do with porcupines. These are animals belonging to different classes. But children nevertheless, thanks to this rhyme, know the word "porcupine." Why not tell them that porcupines live in the same place as jaguars and anteaters?
Kornei Ivanovich Chukovsky told the kids about hippos and crocodiles at the age of two. True, he did not please the biologists and mixed savannah and jungle animals in his fairy tale about Doctor Aibolit. We can make careful adjustments by correctly placing the animals on the maps — tail to tail, ear to ear — according to their actual habitat, while drawing on children's literary experience. Those animals that they learned about from fairy tales have already firmly settled in their memory. But there are still kangaroos ("Early, early in the morning, a kangaroo galloped", and in the form of Kanga and little Ru from the tale of Winnie the Pooh), and tigers, and jackals, and boas, and buffaloes, and panthers, and elephants (again - thanks to Kipling). In other words: if we read enough to children, their world - in names and images - is wide enough.

H And this is what we will base ourselves on when drawing up lotto cards - on interesting pictures, on curious names that can evoke associations in children. Do not such names of animals encourage to fantasize: "capybara capybara", "marsupial devil", "wolverine"? These words themselves are fabulous, musical.
You can even offer the child before the game: "Tell us how you see an animal with that name!"
After all, for a start, it is important for a child to look, perceive an image, a picture. That is why he asks to the zoo. And he can learn about the features of this or that animal a little later. The picture, the lotto game is just a seed, a bait: come on! Ask a Question!
And if a question has arisen, it's time to open encyclopedias, embark on an Internet journey, get popular science films about animal life. You can make such tasks "home", designed for the participation of parents, followed by stories about a particular animal.
You can offer to draw your favorite animals.
But this is in perspective.

P But at first, the child is not even required to know all the names of animals. They are voiced by an adult, presenter: "Who has a rhinoceros?", "Who has a mamba snake?" The child needs to compare the presented card with the pictures on his card.
But children quickly remember the name of this or that animal.
When the facilitator feels that the children have mastered the first level of the lotto game, the conditions of the game can be complicated.
There are two ways to complicate things.

First option

The presenter does not show the card, but simply asks: "Who has the Arctic fox?" The child must correlate the name with the pictures on the card and answer: "I have!"

Second option

The presenter presents the card and asks: "Who has this animal?" The child must answer: “I have. This is an elephant".
To "load" the game with an additional element of learning, one can ask: "Who has this bird?", "Who has this animal?", "Who has this insect (reptile, snake)?"
Accordingly, after some time, you can ask the child to clarify the "group" to which this or that animal belongs:
- Who has this animal?
- I have. It's a mosquito. The mosquito is an insect.

AND so, we draw up cards for the game. If we want to create a really interesting, "working" lotto, we will need images of many animals. The Internet and parents will help us here.
On the Internet, you can find a photo of any animal you are interested in, any bird, fish or insect. And among parents there will certainly be those who want to create a map on a particular topic using home appliances.

Map Sets

Lotto can consist of 5-10 large cards and corresponding sets of small cards.

Map "In the Arctic"

In the center of the map is the arctic landscape. The small cards show: polar bear, arctic fox, walrus, seal, guillemot, loon, Arctic cod fish, crustaceans.

Map "In Antarctica"

In the center of the map is the Antarctic landscape. The small cards show: emperor penguin, leopard seal, elephant seal, petrel, skua, blue whale, sperm whale, albatross.

African Desert Card

The African desert is drawn in the center of the map. The small cards show: jerboa, gecko, sand boa, gopher, antelope, steppe turtle, gray monitor lizard, desert hare.

Map "In the tundra"

A tundra is drawn in the center of the map. The small cards show: reindeer, snowy owl, lemming, ptarmigan, polar wolf, arctic fox, ermine, white goose.

Savannah card

The African savannah is drawn in the center of the map. The small cards show: African ostrich, hippo (hippopotamus), zebra, lion, giraffe, cheetah, African elephant, rhinoceros.

Australia Card

The center of the map shows an Australian landscape (maybe a koala on a eucalyptus tree). The small cards show: ostrich emu, kangaroo, platypus, echidna, koala, cockatoo parrot, bird of paradise, marsupial devil.

See other cards in the next issue.

Tricky question

Place maps side by side showing the African desert, arctic and Antarctic landscapes. Ask the children a question: what do these pictures have in common? Can these pictures be called in one word?
Possible answers - "landscape", "picture of nature", "beautiful natural views" - are accepted. But that's not all. It turns out that all of these are deserts.
With the word "desert" we usually associate endless sands scorching by the sun. But there is another desert - snowy. Areas located close to the poles of the Earth, scientists call the Arctic and Antarctic deserts. It is very cold in these deserts and there is snow all year round. It is very difficult to get food. However, animals also live in deserts. True, the animals of the cold deserts settle along the shores of the ocean. They, as a rule, get their food by water hunting, and their life goes on both on land and in water.

Dictionary for the teacher

Natural areas- large subdivisions of the geographic (landscape) shell of the Earth, regularly and in a certain order replacing each other depending on climatic conditions.

Natural area maps- small-scale maps showing the distribution of natural zones over the area of ​​the globe, mainland or large state.

Ecosystem(from the Greek óikos - dwelling, dwelling place and "system"), a natural complex (bioinert system) formed by living organisms (biocenosis) and their habitat.

Bio "ta(from the Greek biote - life) - a historically formed collection of plants and animals, united by a common area of ​​distribution. In contrast to the biocenosis, the species that make up the biota may not have ecological links. For example, the kangaroo and the lungfish ceratodus, which are part of the Australian fauna, do not owe each other their survival.

Biocenosis(from "bio" and Greek koinós - common) - a set of plants, animals, microorganisms that inhabit a land area or water body and are characterized by certain relationships among themselves, depending on each other.

Area- the area of ​​distribution of this type of organisms.

Zoological lotto

I play this game in the fourth quarter in the 7th grade after studying the course in biology "Animals". 2 teams are invited from each class (total 6 teams).

There are six signs on the board with the word F AND V O T N S E. Each word must be of a certain color: red, orange, brown, green, blue, purple; it must be made up of individual letters so that they can be removed. A question is written on the back of each letter plate.

F AND V O T N S - red letters
F AND V O T N S - orange letters
F AND V O T N S - brown letters
F AND V O T N S - green letters
F AND V O T N Y E - blue letters
F AND V O T N S - purple letters

The team chooses any letter of any color. The presenter reads out the question. If the team answers the question correctly, it takes the letter, but if the answer was incorrect, the letter remains on the board. The winner is the team that most quickly collects the word LIFE (you can have the letters in different colors). The teams answer in turn, and some other team, knowing the correct answer to the already asked question, can again select the same letter as the previous command (if they need this letter).

The number of lines with the word F AND V O T N S E can be one more than the number of commands.

After one of the teams has won, the game does not end. The guys continue to fight for the 2nd and 3rd places.

Several answers may be given to the same question. It so happened that the guys, hearing that the answers of their comrades were wrong, eventually found the correct answer and were very happy about it.
