Progress of the lesson:
(Children sit on the carpet)
Educator: Guys, let's imagine that you and I find ourselves in a forest clearing. Who can we meet here? (animals) That's right, but animals are afraid of people and try to avoid them. But there are people in the forest who are not afraid of us. They are very, very small and there are a lot of them everywhere - in the air, on the ground, on trees, flowers. Who do you think it is? (these are insects) Here is a grasshopper crackling in the grass, (Author - V. Leonov) A butterfly is soaring in the sky, A furry, loud, striped bumblebee is buzzing on a flower. Insects fly, jump, crawl, soar, surprise us with their beauty, and also bring benefits! Educator: Guys, what insects do you know? (children's answers) Well done, right! Now, guess the riddles. (after the children guess the riddle, the teacher attaches the corresponding picture to the magnetic board) 1. She is the cutest of all the bugs, Her back is scarlet. The circles on the back are little black dots. (ladybug)
2. He is a real worker, very, very hard-working. Under a pine tree in a dense forest, he builds a house from needles. (ant)
3. She is bright and beautiful. Graceful, light-winged. She looks like a flower and loves to drink flower juice. (butterfly)
4. Hairy, green, she hides in the leaves, although she has many legs, she cannot run. (caterpillar)
5. She has four wings, a thin body like an arrow, and big, big eyes. They call it... (dragonfly)
Educator: Well done, guys! All the riddles were guessed correctly. (the teacher, together with the children, identifies the essential features of insects - six legs, wings, antennae, a jointed body) Educator: You know, guys, insects are the most ancient and numerous inhabitants of our planet.
They appeared many, many millions of years ago and are perfectly adapted to life on Earth. What do you think insects eat? (children's answers) Each insect has its own food. Caterpillars (butterfly larvae) eat leaves, flowers and fruits of plants. There are harmful types of caterpillars, and there are also those that destroy other insect pests and thereby help people. Butterflies collect nectar from flowers and pollinate plants. Ladybugs eat aphids and also bring great benefits. But mosquitoes feed on plant sap and animal blood. Insects are an excellent treat for birds, frogs, lizards and other animals. You can learn a lot about the life of insects. And you can meet them not only in the forest. You've probably already met them. What insects did you see? (children’s answers) Game “Pick a sign”
what kind of butterfly? (beautiful, light) what kind of caterpillar? (green, slow) what ant? (small, hard-working) What kind of bee? (striped, buzzing)
Game “Make an insect”
(children are divided into groups of several people and assemble homemade puzzles on the tables - a butterfly, an ant, a grasshopper)
Physical education
Raise your shoulders, jump, grasshoppers! Jump - hop, jump - hop, sat down, ate some grass, listened to the silence, Higher, higher, higher! Jump on your toes with ease!
Educator: Guys, you should know that there are dangerous insects and learn the rules of behavior when meeting them: If there is a bee, wasp, or bumblebee nearby, you should not wave your arms. You need to step aside and behave calmly. Exposed areas of the body are treated with special insect bite repellents (with the help of adults). If, for example, you are bitten by a bee, you should immediately seek help from adults (parents, teachers). Educator: Guys, what do you think will happen if insects suddenly disappear? (plants and many animals will die) That’s right, because in nature everything is interconnected - some cannot live without others. Insects are part of nature, just like you and me. Therefore, all life on Earth must be preserved and protected! Listen to the poem: There is a huge house on Earth (Author - L. Daineko) Under the blue roof. The sun, rain and thunder, forest and sea surf live in it. Birds and flowers live in it, the cheerful ringing of the stream. You live in that bright house, you and all your friends. Wherever the roads lead, you will always be there. This house is called the nature of our native land. Educator: Guys, did you like our lesson? What new did you learn today?

Let ants and beetles crawl on the ground, let grasshoppers jump on the grass, let butterflies and dragonflies fly, and let the world we live in always remain blue and green! 12. Relaxation. “The Flutter of a Butterfly”
Guys, today we traveled a lot, we were tired. Let `s have some rest. Lie down on the mat, close your eyes and remember how you were insects.
Imagine a beautiful summer day. You are lying on a green meadow. Everything around is calm and quiet. You feel warm and comfortable, you breathe easily and calmly. Imagine that you are light butterflies with large and beautiful wings. Your arms are light and light—like the wings of a butterfly. And your body also became light, light, flapped its wings and flew. With every inhalation and exhalation you float higher and higher in the air. A light breeze gently strokes your wings... (pause - stroking the children). Strokes, gently touches... (name). You feel good and pleased. But now it's time to return home. Stretch and on the count of three, open your eyes. Smile at each other.
