- July 19, 2016
This environmental project will help preschoolers expand their knowledge about wild animals of the forests of the Kaliningrad region.
As a result of the project, it is planned to create a book “Wild Animals of Our Forests.” The goal of the project: to create conditions for the development of children’s cognitive and creative abilities in the process of developing the child-adult educational project “Animals of our region.”
Project objectives:
1. Enrich and consolidate the knowledge and ideas of preschoolers about animals living in our forests.
2. Enrich children’s vocabulary with names of signs and actions by designating qualities (features of appearance, nutrition, habits).
3. Develop children’s coherent speech through writing a descriptive story about animals and retelling a literary text.
4. Foster a culture of communication by listening to the stories of your comrades without interrupting the speaker.
Relevance of the topic
Children in the middle group of kindergarten have insufficient ideas about the animals of our forests, their cubs, their appearance, living conditions, and habits. They find it difficult to compose a coherent statement about a subject because they do not have sufficient knowledge and vocabulary; they need the help of an adult in planning a story. The participation of children in the project “Animals of our region” will enrich their knowledge and ideas about wild animals and their cubs, the characteristics of the life of animals; develop coherent speech and creative abilities of children.
Fundamental question: Can our planet exist without animals?
Problematic question: Why can’t wild animals live in an apartment?
Project participants : teachers, parents and children of the middle group, ecologist, music director, physical education director.
The nature of the project activity: cognitive and creative.
Expected outcome for children:
In the process of implementing the project, children will learn:
- Know and name the animals of our forests, their appearance, habits, adaptations to their environment (seasonal changes, methods of protection).
- Possess the general concept of “wild animals”.
- Compare animals based on several characteristics, finding similarities and differences.
- Write a descriptive story about an animal using a diagram.
- Coherently and consistently convey the content of a literary text based on subject pictures.
- To be able to use various materials together with parents to create an image of an animal, to select interesting educational material about this animal.
As a result of the project, the book “Wild Animals” will be created.
Expected outcome for the teacher:
Presentation of the project “Animals of our region”, design of the book “Wild Animals”.

POEMS ABOUT ANIMALS (Vl. Stepanov)
Bear. Squirrel.
Through the rubble, along the ravines, Squirrel - with tasseled ears - The animal walks with a master's step. He sees a mushroom at the edge of the forest - He loves fragrant honey, Jumps after it from the thick branches and picks raspberries from the branches. And he carries it home quickly.
Boar. Elk.
The fog falls, the elk has branched antlers, the boar wakes up. Yes, the hooves are fast. Digging the ground by the river, Shaking his head, he sharpens his sharp fangs. Touches the sky.
Hedgehog. Badger.
The gray hedgehog is covered in needles, The badger gets up after midnight, As if he is not an animal, but a Christmas tree. He will walk around his house. Even though the forest is prickly and silent - A keen sense of smell and a keen eye - The hedgehog is kind, not evil. The hour of hunting has come.
