Autumn- thoughtful time vegetable world growth slows down, all nature is tired, and begins a long preparation for winter sleep. The birds stop singing and gather more and more in flocks to leave their native lands for a while in search of warmth, and the trees are covered with gilding and begin to shed their leaves. This is how the leaf fall begins, the autumn season, which is called Golden autumn. Here are the colors of autumn, pastel, calm, like nature itself at this time of the year. Yellow, golden, as if in the sun, falling leaves of color and quiet brown prevail. And closer to November, when the weather frowns more and more, gray tones appear. Nature is getting closer and closer to the cold, winds and froze in anticipation of snow.
The colors of autumn are rich and colorful, a combination of the deepest colors. The colors during this period are muted and thoughtful, like nature itself in autumn, colorful and soft, close to the romantic mood of walking through the autumn forest.

Indian summer


It has long been known that in mid-September - early October there is (after the first cold snap) an increase in temperature. This time is called by the people "Indian summer". During the "Indian summer", warmed by the spring sun, mushrooms crawl out of the ground and plants begin to bloom again. By folk calendar it lasts from September 14 - the day of the Seeds of the Pioneer until September 21 - the day of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God.
Why this phenomenon is called "Indian summer", and not in any other way, is definitely difficult to answer. One can only assume that it is connected with the life and work of a peasant woman. In the second half of September the field harvesting work ended, and the woman, who was very busy in the field, was a little relieved of hard work and could for some time feel summer rest. The coincidence of such a period of everyday life with periods of relatively warm, pleasant weather, obviously, was the reason for the name "Indian summer". The duration of such a rest for a woman was as short as the periods of return of summer heat. After the "Indian summer" women began to knead and ruffle the hemp, wash it and lay linen, fiddled with canvases and took up the spindle, needlework.

Traditionally autumn in Rus' - the time of agricultural holidays and harvest rites. At this time, the harvest was harvested, which ensured a happy and well-fed winter, prosperity and well-being in the family.

Small forms of folklore such as proverbs, preserved in speech and reflected the importance of the fruitful season in the life of a person dependent on nature. By means of a proverb, in a short, concise form, people drew analogies between a good harvest and wealth ( "In autumn and a crow has a heap of bread"), noted seasonal changes in the world of animals and plants.

The importance of the weather became the reason for the division of proverbs into phenological periods, that is, according to climatic features. This is how early autumn is distinguished - a bright, joyful period that reflects the beauty and generosity of nature, golden - a wonderful time for wilting leaves and travel of migratory birds, and pre-winter - a time of unpredictable bad weather, a sign to prepare for winter. All these phases thematically correspond to their own types of proverbs. Every autumn month also honored with special sayings.

Proverbs about autumn express the primary interests of the farmer: the health of livestock, folk omens on the weather, which may affect the economy, the desire for prosperity and peace.

Guys, I want to ask you a riddle:

Sending birds to the south

I undress the trees

But I do not touch pines and fir-trees.

I .... (autumn).

The children solve the riddle.

1 slide (autumn)

Educator:

That's right, autumn. Today I want to talk to you about autumn. Not just talk, but play KVN. KVN is a competition in wit and knowledge, and for the correct answers you will receive points (tokens). I have prepared assignments for you, they are in envelopes. Some tasks are not easy, you will be required to good knowledge, and fantasy, and even dexterity.

The teacher invites the children to divide into two teams and come up with names for the created teams. (The names of the teams "Mushrooms" and "Leaves").

The teacher gives tasks to each team in turn. Teams receive tokens for a correct answer.

Task 1 "Answer": Why is this happening?

The teacher reads a poem to each team in turn and the children explain the reasons for what is happening. The team with the most accurate answer wins.

2 slide (leaf fall)

a) It already smells like rain in the air,

It's getting colder every day.

Trees change their dress

Leaves are slowly disappearing.

It is clear to everyone how twice two-

The autumn time has come.

(sample questions: Why do leaves change color? Why do leaves fly around)

3 slide (migratory birds)

b) How many insects in summer!

Birds of food and do not count.

After summer came autumn

What will the birds eat?

To the south the birds stretched,

There is food and shelter.

Flocks rush farewell,

Flying is so hard!

(sample questions: Why do birds have to fly to warmer climes in autumn? Why do insects that birds feed on disappear in autumn)

2 task "Warm-up"

The wind blew in the forest clearing,

He twirled an aspen in a red sundress.

And a leaf from a birch with a golden bee

Curls and spins over a thorny Christmas tree.

Maple leaves flew around, maple shivering from the cold.

There is a golden carpet on the path by the balcony.

Invite the children to imagine that they are autumn leaves on a tree. But suddenly the wind blew and plucked the leaves from the tree, the leaves are spinning and slowly falling to the ground.

Both teams dance the Falling Leaves dance.

3 task "Guess"

Hello, forest, dense forest,

Full of fairy tales and wonders.

One, two, three, and out

And he is in plain sight.

White, I'll find you! (boletus)

I grow up in a red cap

Among aspen roots.

You will recognize me from a mile away

My name is (boletus)

I will not hide: not white, I, brothers, are simpler.

I usually grow in a birch grove. (boletus)

There are no mushrooms friendlier than these,

Adults and children know.

We grow on stumps in the forest,

Like freckles on your nose. (honey agaric)

Here's someone important

On a white leg

He is wearing a red hat

Peas on the hat ... (fly agaric)

Grow on the edge

redhead girlfriends,

And their name is .... (chanterelles)

Along forest paths

Lots of white legs

In colorful hats

Noticeable from afar.

Collect, don't hesitate

This is ... (russula)

In every clearing

But these mushrooms

You can not touch and take:

Task 5 "Tell me"

And here is the forest floor. Who is meeting us? (Showing pictures with wild animals on multimedia). Each animal has a lot of work in autumn, they are preparing for the winter. Here's how you should tell us.

Each team is given 3 pictures of wild animals. Participants should think and talk about each animal.

6 task "Do it"

Leaves fall in autumn

The grass dries up in the marshes,

Birds gather in flocks

And we're ready to take off.

And, saying goodbye to native sheets,

With golden birches, willows,

They circle for a long time over the forests,

Over steep river cliffs.

Prepared 2 magnetic boards. On one board is a picture of spring, on the other is a picture of winter. Pictures of wintering and migratory birds are laid out on the table. One team should choose migratory birds and attach them to the picture of spring, and the other team should choose wintering birds and attach them to the picture of winter.

The team that completes the task without errors wins.

At the end of the game, the teacher sums up and suggests creating an autumn collage. Children must choose the desired images from the proposed pictures and illustrations, cut them out and stick them on paper.
