Why is the woodpecker respected by all birds and animals? And what would happen if woodpeckers disappeared? This is talked about in the fairy tale “The Woodpecker.”
Woodpecker worker. Tales of Lake Baikal
Birds from all over the taiga flew in and began to scold the woodpecker.
The cuckoo is the angriest of all: “You give me no peace, woodpecker, you knock, you knock!”
“Your knocking makes my head hurt,” the nutcracker complains.
- Idlers, you have ready-made food: flies, mosquitoes, boogers, berries, tree buds, nuts. And I need to chisel the tree, look for beetles under the bark. I save you all, ungrateful ones, I work from morning to night!
The birds whistled, chirped, and chattered angrily: “What!” Are you saving us? - Look, what a braggart! - Let's peck him!
The din of birds was interrupted by a capercaillie - an important bird in the taiga, it does not throw words to the wind. He stamped his foot: “You shouldn’t make a fuss, the woodpecker told the truth!” It protects trees from greedy bark beetles. Without it, they would have devoured all the trees and devastated the taiga. How can we live without the taiga?.. Screamers!
The cuckoo, sitting on a tall pine tree, was the first to sing throughout the whole taiga: “Pucko-coo, woodpecker, peek-a-boo, darling!”
Behind her is a nutcracker: “I praise you, buddy.” Come on - knock, knock.
- Knock-knock - good sound! - the forest pigeon shouted loudly.
The birds surrounded the woodpecker, the violator of the forest silence, and sang in chorus.
Let's play. Mobile Russian folk game "Woodpecker"
Children stand in a circle. The child playing the role of a woodpecker stands in the middle of the circle. Children dance around the woodpecker and say the first two lines:
“A woodpecker walks by the granary,
Looking for a grain of wheat."
The woodpecker says in response:
“I’m not bored alone, I’ll take whoever I want.”
With the last word, the woodpecker quickly takes the hand of one of the guys in the circle. And the children must quickly stand in pairs. The child left without a mate becomes a woodpecker in the next game.
