Autumn pictures
The thematic folder “Autumn pictures for children in kindergarten” needs to be filled with different images and photos. The plot of the drawings can be divided into several groups.
Signs of autumn
The illustrations always depict colorful leaves, rain, puddles, items of autumn clothing, and birds flying south. Based on the pictures, the child will be able to navigate changing weather conditions and will be able to choose shoes and a jacket for a walk independently.
Harvesting
Pictures about harvesting for children in kindergarten are necessary for the overall development of kindergarteners. Tell them about the fruits and vegetables growing in your region, the time of their ripening, and the hard work of the peasants. Bring up the topic of autumn gifts in the fields and in the forest.
Autumn forest
Show how the appearance of the forest changes in September-October. Dwell in detail on the colors, shades, and beauty of nature. Describe how people dress for a walk in a grove or park. Offer to collect an autumn bouquet for the next lesson. Golden autumn should delight kindergarteners so that they remember this time of year not with rain and winds, but with the brightness and richness of colors.
Animals
Consider how the fur of forest animals changes, what they do before hibernation, and how their harvest proceeds. Don’t forget to enrich your preschoolers’ vocabulary with new concepts: acorn, oak, molting, lair, flock, wedge, etc. Explain why migratory birds need to fly south and which of them remain for the winter without migrating.
Tasks
Using a small set of pictures on the theme of autumn, you can come up with a lot of interesting educational tasks with children in kindergarten:
- Make up a story based on the picture or individual images of objects.
- Choose a synonym (antonym). Preschoolers are offered a picture. For colors, objects, weather conditions, you need to choose words that are opposite in meaning or similar.
- What clothes are suitable for autumn weather? Lay out images of summer and autumn wardrobes in front of the kids. Let him choose the right outfit for the walk.
- Place into boxes. Pictures of the image need to be downloaded, printed and cut out. Children 3-5 years old enjoy playing sorting.
- Connect objects with each other.
- Complete the puzzle. To prepare a picture from pieces, print any picture, stick it on cardboard and cut it.
How to conduct classes
Illustrations, colorful drawn or photographed images are used in kindergarten classes; if you show an object, the phenomenon in close proximity does not work. Pictures for children “Autumn” should be hung on stands and shown to children from the end of August, when there are almost no signs of the arrival of September-October on the street.
In thematic classes, you need to use the following types of work with preschoolers:
- Carefully examine images and photographs. Drawings are distributed to children on tables. If the lesson is conducted with children 3-4 years old, it is printed out large and shown to the children from the hands of the teacher.
- A short lecture. The teacher talks, the children listen. The lecture should not be boring; color it with epithets and images. Focus on the signs of autumn, late and early, color features of the season, weather conditions, and adults’ activities in harvesting. Children aged 5-7 years can be trusted to tell their own story using pictures. In this case, the teacher helps with leading questions.
- Discussion. The teacher needs to ask the children a few questions: What did you see? What time of year is this? Why did you decide so? Etc.
- Games and tasks with pictures. After discussing the topic “Autumn” and looking at the paintings, invite children to color the plot image, and for preschoolers 5-6 years old to create a composition with paints and pencils.
- Final lesson. Conduct it in the format of a creative workshop. It can take place in November, when children observe changes in nature already on a walk with their parents or group. Give older preschoolers the task of drawing autumn and telling about their impressions. Pupils of the younger group - make a craft from natural material together with their parents, memorize a short poem.
Autumn pictures for kindergarten children are a way to create strong connections between time, phenomenon, and nature. They need to be used not only directly, showing them to preschoolers, but also gradually. Set up a themed stand, hang illustrations and works of famous artists on the walls of the playroom, create a laptop with pictures on the theme of autumn for children and a mobile folder with your parents.
