Educator: Today is a holiday in our kindergarten. And what the holiday is dedicated to, guess from the riddle! Alena is standing with a green scarf. Slim waist White sundress (birch). That's right, it's birch! Today is the holiday of the Russian birch tree - the symbol of our Motherland - Russia. Birch is a tree that is especially dear to the heart of every Russian person. In ancient times, when sowing work in the fields ended, the time came for a cheerful and beautiful ancient Russian holiday - Green Christmastide, in other words, Trinity. The Trinity holiday is a favorite holiday; it is dedicated to the Goddess of Spring, who defeated the evil demons of winter. On Trinity Day, Birch was held in special esteem. People honor the birch tree, curl wreaths for it, dance around the birch tree, and sing songs! Golden fields and birch trees all around, This is our land, here you and I live. They scattered across the lawn in a carefree, light flock, like teenage girls, white-trunked birches. They held hands, and lo and behold, a round dance spun! Come on, guys, let's do a round dance around the birch tree. (Music sounds). Round dance "Birch". We are around a birch tree Let's stand in a round dance, Joyfully and loudly Everyone will sing Oh yes birch tree, White trunk. Greener, greener are you foliage. We will take bright handkerchiefs into our hands. We'll start a harmonious song at the birch tree. Oh yes birch tree, White trunk. Greener, greener are you foliage. Educator: Birch is a joyful, elegant tree. It took into its attire the two main colors of Russian nature: the green of meadows and the white of snow-covered fields. And how these colors suit her! Birch is a symbol of the Motherland, an image of the Russian village, childhood memories, the most revered tree in Rus'. Guys, let's play and tell you what kind of birch it is. Game "Choose the word." The teacher explains that it is necessary to choose a definition (a word that answers the question what). For example: Birch tree – which one? - slender, Berezka - what? – white, Birch – which one? – kind, etc. Educator: You know guys, it turns out that birch trees cry too. Why? How do you think? (Children's answers) Children. Because the birch tree has birch sap, it’s like a tear... Educator: In early spring, with the onset of the first warm days, the birch tree wakes up after a long sleep. During the winter, a birch tree gains a lot of strength from the soil, which is necessary for the swelling of the buds, from which leaves will then appear. This moisture is called birch sap. It is rich in various vitamins that are beneficial to humans. Because of him, people wound the birch tree, and it cries. These wounds do not heal for a long time, the tree begins to weaken, rot, pests attack it, and often the birch dies. Guys, what do you think, is it possible to extract sap without causing harm or pain to the birch tree? (Children's answers). You need to carefully cut a branch from it, tie a jar to this place, and by morning it will contain juice. You can only cut branches from a large birch tree, and then cover this place with garden putty. Birch sap is very useful. – Birch will not only heal, but also give you something to drink.

(children's answers) But sometimes it happens like this... 3 reader At dawn, a green birch tree On the edge of a spring village A teenager slashed with his knife In passing, as a joke, not out of malice. Maybe from this morning She wouldn’t get up, knocked down on the spot, Only someone kind and wise would bandage her wound. And he left, remaining nameless, this kind-eyed man. And the jubilant green fire has not gone out in its branches since then. I really wanted to know who saved her from certain death. 1 presenter The birch trees stand quietly near the soldiers’ graves. How much they could tell about the terrible tragedy of the Great Patriotic War! There are no better witnesses. The dying soldiers sent their last greetings to her as a symbol of the Motherland. 4 reader Behind the village, in the distance, at the crossroads of barely noticeable field paths, I recognized the soldiers' birch trees, near which I was digging a trench. And I involuntarily remembered how their branches groaned from explosions and fire... Near those birch trees my comrades picked me up, barely alive. From that time on, soldiers often told me with love about birch trees: “You would not have overcome the evil death, You would not have suffered serious wounds, If we had not given you to drink The bright tears of birch trees...” 2 presenter Many rituals are associated with the birch tree. Here, for example, is one of them. (a group of children in Russian folk costumes appears) 1. The holiday has come to us, the Trinity has come! The ground will be covered with grass and ants.

In most villages, Trinity festivities began on Wednesday. The girls went into the forest to pick out a birch tree. 3. On Thursday this birch tree was “curled”, i.e. decorated with wreaths made from birch branches, or bent the branches to the ground, braiding them to the grass. 4. And on Trinity Sunday, they went to “untie” the birch tree. Each girl examined her wreath. And if it did not wither or fall apart, then what was planned should have been fulfilled. 5. The birch tree, glorified for several days, was supposed to give all its strength to the field, contribute to the harvest and the well-being of people. 6.

Speaking about birch, we cannot help but talk about the merits of birch bark. Birch bark was not nicknamed “Russian papyrus” for nothing. The Novgorod Museum contains a unique birch bark library. Birch bark served the partisans well during the war. Newspapers were published on it behind enemy lines. Birch bark does not get wet and does not rot. 1 presenter Birch has been an image of blessed memory since ancient times. She is a symbol of memory of the fallen heroes. Birches grow on the site of the Battle of Borodino, in the Belarusian burned village of Khatyn, in Treptower Park in Berlin. 2 presenters of Birches of Russia illuminated the creativity of almost every Russian writer. “How many birches have already rustled in Russian poetry! There are at least two poems for every tree,” said Yaroslav Smelyakov. 1 presenter Svetla Russia, of course, not only from birches, but from them too! 2 presenter Our holiday is coming to an end. We thank Berezka for coming to us. White birch, dear sister. You grow up, don't be afraid of the evil ax. White birch is Russian land, And sadness, and joy, and my love! Song “White Birch” APPENDIX Poems for the holiday A. Fet A sad birch tree at my window, And by the whim of the frost it has been dismantled. Like bunches of grapes, the ends of the branches hang, - And the whole mourning outfit is joyful to look at. I love the game of the morning star I notice on it, And I feel sorry if the birds shake off the beauty of the branches. Vsevolod Rozhdestvensky Birch The sun slightly warmed the slopes And it became warmer in the forest, The Birch hung its green braids from its thin branches. All dressed in a white dress, wearing earrings and lacy foliage, she is greeting the hot summer at the edge of the forest. Will a thunderstorm pass over her, Will the swamp darkness cling to her, - Shaking off the rain, Birch will smile - and be cheerful again. Her light outfit is wonderful, There is no tree dearer to the heart, And many thoughtful songs are sung among the people about her. He shares joy and tears with her, And her days are so good, It seems that in the noise of the birch there is something from the Russian soul. A. Prokofiev I love Russian birch, sometimes light, sometimes sad, In a bleached sarafan, with handkerchiefs in pockets, With beautiful clasps, with green earrings, Sometimes clear, ebullient, sometimes sad, weeping. I love her across the river, with elegant mantles. Sometimes clear, ebullient, sometimes sad, weeping. I love the Russian birch, she always dances with her friends Eternally, kisses as usual, Walks where there are no fences, sings where it is not supposed to, Bends and bends in the wind, but does not break. I love her across the river, with elegant mantles. Sometimes clear, ebullient, sometimes sad, weeping. Victor Bokov Don’t cut down the white birch, Don’t destroy the soul of the forest, Don’t destroy and don’t do evil, And especially in the spring, Don’t destroy, don’t touch the birch, Treat it like a human being, Otherwise tears will flow, You yourself will dry up from melancholy. Let the birch tree, like a bride, take care of its beauty, its place is not in a hot oven, its place is always in the forest! A. Zhigulin Birch The ax rang, then the saw. Then - the last effort. The birch slowly moved, showering us with snow dust. It was not in vain that they cut down the tree, - Above the roadbed, at the edge of the forest, The tight winds of December could have knocked it down onto the rails. They cut it down in the morning, It lay behind the embankment And quietly, quietly in the wind, Ringing with icicles, it trembled... Winter still has a hundred years of revenge, Humming in the taiga, breaking pine trees, And we still have to walk our site a hundred times On the frozen sleepers. And, like a deep Siberian forest, Like the distant cry of a steam locomotive, We have become accustomed to the dark cut - A large dead birch tree. Spring came. And, after the blizzards, While going through repairs in April, We all stopped suddenly, Scaredly not believing our eyes: The old birch tree lived, The buds stubbornly blossomed. On the branches of a dead trunk Yellow earrings swayed!.. Someone later explained to us that sap ferments in the woody firmament, That sometimes there is enough strength to come to life with flowers after death... The ice in the lowlands was still turning blue And our fingers ached from the frost, And we watched how it blooms A long-dead birch tree. P. Kudryavtsev White birch, dear sister. You grow up, don't be afraid of the evil ax. White birch - birds on the branches, I won’t let anyone hurt you. White birch, the breeze is blowing, He will look at you in the blue evening. White birch, he will bring a song to you from the heights because of the blue sea. White birch, my bow to you, You are in the fate of Russia and in my destiny. White birch is Russian land, And sadness, and joy, and my love. S. Yesenin White birch tree Under my window Covered with snow, Like silver. On the fluffy branches, like a snowy border, brushes blossomed like a white fringe. And the birch tree stands in sleepy silence, and snowflakes burn in golden fire. And the dawn, lazily going around, sprinkles the branches with new silver. O. Shestinsky I can’t imagine Russia without the birch, - It is so bright in Slavic style, That, perhaps, in other centuries, all of Rus' was born from the birch. They sang and got married under the birches. They chose horses at auction; Dear mothers were buried with birch trees at their feet. Therefore, you know, in the spring birch trees live a human life: Sometimes they laugh with their green leaves, sometimes they shed tears with their earrings. A. Dementiev Birches of Russia Birches in the night are like smiles... This is how Rus' smiles Through its troubles and mistakes, Through May thunderstorms and sadness. Birches are like ancient dates, Which are still sharp in the heart. They look like Russian wartime soldiers Birches. Light, majestic and stern, having become akin to Russia by fate, they stood at every road, seeing off soldiers to battle. They ran after the train, drowning in the snow up to their chests... They ran in winter and summer. And their path was endless. They covered the partisans with themselves, propped up their housing with their shoulders. The fighters at the short rest gave their warmth. Birch trees - separations and meetings, Sadness over the silence of the grass... I love your strong shoulders And your quiet, friendly disposition. Birches, birches of Russia - you have all walked with us. And there is no end to your power Coming from the Russian land. G. Fere The light of Russian birches The military thunderstorms have subsided, The leaden hail does not clatter, But the bitter wounds of the birches are preserved as a memory of the past. Their slanting showers kiss them, The winds caress them, trumpeting: No one, Russia, can ever take them away from you. If the planet were flying in the darkness, And it would be difficult for people to live Without this kind light of the Original Russian birches. Mirvarid Dilbazi White birches White birches, forest beauties, You stand, carved through the foliage. It is impossible to comprehend you without knowing Russia, And I came here, friends. I wanted to comprehend the simple beauty - To see you, curly, in the wind. Like girls who look like they are singing about the gentle sun in the morning. And at night the stars secretly kiss you, And leave dew on the leaves. The jealous month is looking for you, birch trees, And you, laughing, are hiding in the forest. All nations have their own beauties, you, in white fur coats, are Russian beauty. White-trunked forests have stood under the Russian sky for centuries! White birches, forest beauties, Once again I catch your songs in my heart. It is impossible to comprehend you without knowing Russia, And to love you as I love her.
