What to tell preschoolers about spring.
In spring, the sun begins to warm the soil, but the weather is still changeable. Warm days suddenly give way to cold, snowy ones. It’s not for nothing that people say: spring and autumn—there are eight weather conditions per day. And yet, the hillocks and edges gradually thaw, and the first thawed patches appear. The sun rises higher and higher above the earth, giving more and more heat, awakening nature from its winter sleep. The snow begins to melt in the fields, and the first streams gurgle. White clouds appear in the sky. They are called cumulus clouds.
On rivers, ponds and lakes, cracks appear in the ice from the spring heat. Ice drift begins on the rivers. The ice floes collide, pile on top of each other, and float with the flow until they melt. Rivers overflow with water and overflow their banks - a flood occurs. All these are signs of the onset of spring in inanimate nature, and the main one is the melting of snow.
Plants in spring With changes in inanimate nature, changes occur in the lives of plants, animals and people. Every living thing on Earth rejoices in spring. The forest awakens, fills with sounds and movement. Drifts of wet snow still lie on the northern slopes, while the southern slopes are already smoking and drying out. Plants begin to stretch upward, trying to get as much sunlight as possible. Plant roots absorb moisture from the warm soil, which dissolves the nutrients accumulated in the trunks. Plant stems pass nutrition to the buds, which will soon become leaves and flowers. Another noticeable change in nature in spring is that buds bloom on bushes and trees. The leaves of willow, alder, aspen, maple, and birch begin to turn green. The first grass appears on the edges. Snowdrops are blooming. Red lungwort flowers appear. A little time will pass, and its flowers will turn purple and then blue.
Birds in the spring The first insects appear and among them are sleepy flies that slowly crawl and bask in the sun. The time has come for migratory birds to return: there is food for them - insects and last year's seeds, which are easy to find on the soil freed from snow. In early March, rooks and starlings arrive earlier than others, followed by larks, lapwings, cuckoos, swallows, and swifts. In spring the weather changes frequently. Sometimes it snows and the birds cannot find food for themselves. Last year's seeds find themselves under the snow again, and the insects hide. At this time, many birds die from hunger, so in the spring, in cold weather, they need to be fed. In the spring, birds build nests, which serve them to incubate eggs and feed chicks. Cuckoos do not build nests, but lay their eggs in the nests of other birds. Chicks need food, and birds get it by destroying a huge number of insects harmful to humans. Be careful of bird nests. Do not come close to them, and, especially, do not pick up the chicks. Birds are afraid of the smell of humans and do not return to the nest. Chicks die without the help of their parents.
Animals in the spring With the arrival of spring, there is a lot of food for animals, so in the spring they give birth to cubs. In early spring, rabbits, squirrels, wolf cubs, fox cubs and many other animals are born. Immediately after birth, the rabbits begin to play, run and learn to hide from enemies. They don't even notice how they are left without supervision. The hare has such rich and nutritious milk that, after feeding her cubs, she can leave them for two to three days. Within two weeks after birth, the bunnies become completely independent. They look for their own food - branches, bark of bushes, grass, shoots of young trees. After hibernation, bears, hedgehogs, and badgers appear. Their cubs come out with them. Mothers continue to feed them milk, but soon the animals learn to independently look for insects, last year's berries, plant bulbs and young grass. In the spring, many animals begin to shed - the thick winter coat changes to a thinner one, and the hare, ermine, weasel, squirrel and arctic fox change the color of their fur coats. Partridges also lose their white feathers, and in their place brown and gray ones grow. Moose and roe deer grow new antlers.
Project “Spring is knocking on our windows”
4. “Let’s go swimming in the puddle.” Make boats at home or on a walk, and then launch them in the nearest puddle.
5. “Let’s let the bubbles… float!” You can let not only boats sail through puddles, but also soap bubbles. They will last longer on the water and shimmer with all the colors. Watching such swimmers is a real pleasure.
6. “Looking for the first signs of spring.” Arm yourself with a camera and go in search of spring. The first swollen buds, lively birds - all these are the first signs that spring is coming.
7. “Drawing on the asphalt.” If the asphalt is dry, it's time to take out the crayons and draw an invitation to spring: sun, flowers and grass. Perhaps this will speed up the arrival of heat!
8. “Hunt for words and letters.” If the child knows the letters, you can play a game where the child and the adult look around for objects that begin with the selected letter. You can choose different letters. For example, you are looking for words starting with the letter “a”, and the child is looking for words starting with the letter “m”. Who will find the most items?
9. “Developing speed and coordination.” This game is very famous. The rules are simple: children stand between the two leaders, their goal is to knock the players out of the center with the ball. It is best to take an inflatable ball so as not to injure children. Take a larger ball, then the task for the kids will become much more difficult, and the risk of injury will decrease.
10. “Developing coordination.” Participants stand opposite the leader. The game is very simple. All children must show movements opposite to those shown by the leader. For example, if the leader lowers his hands, the kids should raise them, if the leader crouches, the children should jump, etc. If the kid makes a mistake three times, he is eliminated. The winner is the one who can survive the longest.
11. “Developing balance.” For this exercise, you need to place two children opposite each other at a distance of 2-3 child steps. At the signal, one, standing on one leg, with his palms outstretched, should hit the palms of the other baby. The essence of the game is to unbalance your opponent. The one who touches the ground first loses.
12. “Developing speed of movement.” For this game you need a ball and chalk. On the asphalt, draw a circle with a diameter of about 2 meters and indicate the directions of movement. The child stands in the center and hits the ball on the ground, after which he runs away in the given direction. While the ball makes 3 hits, the baby must run. The one who runs farthest wins. This game is group, but can also be played alone.
13. “Developing jumping ability.” This game requires several players; you should divide them into teams. A line is drawn on the ground with which the length of the jump will be measured. The landing site should be marked on the heels. You need to jump in the opposite direction from the marked place; another participant must do this. His main task is to jump over this result and jump further, thereby earning a point for his team. The team with the most points wins.
Hosting an event
Before the start of the matinee, it is necessary to have a conversation with the children and establish some rules of behavior.
For example:
- It is necessary to behave calmly (do not shout, do not run, if this is not provided for by the competition).
- Respect other children, teachers and parents (do not interrupt or laugh).
- Don't be distracted and enjoy what is happening.
Their teacher should be near the children. His task is to prompt and help the child in a difficult situation. The teacher must know verbatim the entire program of the event, the sequence of actions and poems of his students.
If all the points are met, spring for kindergarten children will become a long-awaited and favorite time of year in the future.

Everything for classes about Spring A story about Spring:
In spring, the sun rises higher and shines brighter, the days become longer. Snow is melting everywhere, stormy, sonorous streams are running. The ice on rivers, ponds and lakes becomes covered with cracks, becomes loose, darkens and melts, and ice drift begins. Ice floes float along the river, break with a crash, and melt water floods the meadows and lowlands. The flood begins. Icicles hang from the roofs; at noon, when the sun gets hotter, the icicles begin to melt, and spring drops ring. Tree sap, warmed by the spring sun, rises from the roots to the swelling buds. The willow buds have fluffed up, and although there are no leaves yet, the whole tree seems to be shrouded in a delicate yellow-green cloud. Earrings on alder and hazel become lighter and fluffy. In the forests, fields and meadows, spring flowers open: coltsfoot, snowdrop, lungwort. Insects wake up after a long winter. Migratory birds are returning to their homeland from warm regions. The rooks arrive first, then the starlings, wagtails, and larks. The winter hibernation of animals is ending. Adult animals molt, winter fur is replaced with summer fur, and squirrels and hare change the color of their coats. A mother bear with her cubs comes out of the den. A badger comes out of a hole. The she-wolf gives birth to cubs. In spring people have a lot of work. In the field, the soil is prepared for crops and rye, barley, and millet are sown. Early crops are sown in gardens: dill, parsley, carrots, onions. The gardens are covered with white and pink lace capes - apple trees, cherries, and plums are blooming.
Poems about Spring It’s not for nothing that Winter is angry, Its time has passed - Spring is knocking on the window And driving it out of the yard. And everything began to fuss, Everything forced Winter out - And the larks in the sky Already started ringing the bell. Winter is still busy and grumbling about Spring. She laughs in her eyes and only makes more noise... . The evil witch went berserk And, taking the snow, She let her run away into a beautiful child... Spring and grief are not enough: She washed herself in the snow And only became blush In defiance of the enemy. (F. Tyutchev)
*** Drops I listen to drops at noon, They murmur like a bird's trill. Rings a crystal bell, Running from the roof above the porch. The drops gurgle, ring, sing, She breaks the snow and ice. She doesn’t care about a big snowdrift, she runs like a living stream. I will clear the way for a stream so that it can look at the world.
*** In the spring, Spring has a lot of work, The rays help her: Talkative streams drive together along the roads, Melt the snow, break the pieces of ice, Warm everything around. The first sleepy beetle crawled out from under the pine needles and blades of grass. In the thawed area, the golden flowers have bloomed, the buds have swelled, the bumblebees are flying from the nest. Spring has a lot of worries, But things are going well: The field has become emerald, And the gardens are in bloom.
*** Spring Enjoy, spring is coming, The cranes are flying in a caravan, The day is drowning in bright gold, And the streams are rustling through the ravines. Soon guests will come to you, How many nests they will build, look! What sounds, what songs will flow day after day from dawn to dusk. (I. S. Nikitin)
*** Spring song The snow is no longer the same - It has darkened in the field. The ice on the lakes cracked, as if it had been split. The clouds are moving faster, the sky has become higher. The sparrow chirped cheerfully on the roof. The stitches and paths are getting blacker every day, And on the willows the earrings are shining like silver. (S. Marshak)
*** Spring Spring is walking toward us, with quick steps, and the snowdrifts are melting under her feet. Black thawed patches are visible in the fields. That's right, spring has very warm feet. (I. Tokmakova)
*** About Spring They told us about spring Songs from the birdhouse And yellow earrings On the branches of the hazel tree. Pugnacious sparrows, shaggy willows, and noisy brooks told us about spring. Butterfly-hives On a forest thawed patch, Blue snowdrops And damp felt boots. (N. Naydenova)
