Summer is in full swing, and we decided to make a selection of various "things" that you can do with your child in the summer:

1. Collect herbarium (leaves, flowers). And you can make a classic herbarium,
and you can also take a photo collection of all the flowers and plants that you saw over the summer.
2. Collect a collection of stones. To make the stones look better, it is better to store them in a container with water. And the brought stones can be signed and collected from different countries and cities
And flat pebbles can be beautifully painted
3. If there is a dacha, you can allocate a small garden for the child. Plant peas or carrots. Explain how to care. How then will it be great to eat what he grew himself
4. Arrange yourself berry days from time to time.
5. Study butterflies, all kinds of spider bugs, worms, snails and caterpillars. Make your own photo collection of insects. And small bugs can be viewed through a magnifying glass.
6. Observe the process of the appearance of tadpoles, and then watch how they gradually grow, they have legs, then the head of a frog, and finally the tail falls off and a small frog is already sitting in the hands
7. Watch the ants. And you can, as in childhood, stick a stick peeled from the bark and then lick the sourness from the ants.
8. See how a spider builds a web
9. Learn to determine the cardinal points in the forest (by mosses, anthills, etc.) without a compass
10. Look at drops of dew or rain on leaves or blades of grass.
11. With older children, study the constellations
12. Watch the sun rise and set
13. See how the flowers “fall asleep” (flowers close)
14. In the evenings, listen to how frogs croak, nightingales sing and grasshoppers chirp
15. Run in the warm summer rain, splash in the puddles, and then look at the rainbow.
16. If there is a village nearby, then there you can find chickens, cows, possibly sheep and goats. It will be very interesting for little ones to look at pets live, and not in pictures. And if you're lucky, you can see how a cow is milked and, finally, see with your own eyes where the milk comes from.
17. Listen to the cuckoo and count how many times it calls
18. Hang a feeder on the site and observe the birds in close proximity. You can record which birds came to feed. (in our country house - 80 km from Moscow, for many years bullfinches have been flying in and eating from our feeder. I have always been sure that the bullfinch is an exclusively winter bird, and in the summer they fly away somewhere. But for the last few years I I watch them all summer and autumn at my dacha)
19. Plant some flowers (for example, sunflowers) and watch how a sprout appears, then how it grows, how a bud appears, how a flower blooms
20. If there is a plot, then you can plant a tree with your child (for example, a Christmas tree or thuja) and it will be his tree. Or you can try planting an acorn or a chestnut and try to grow an oak or chestnut. But if the tree grows, in 20-30 years it will be really big and tall. And the child will be able to demonstrate to his children HIS own tree, which he planted in his childhood.
21. Find a stump in the forest and count the rings
22. Walk in the field and pick wildflowers. Weave wreaths of daisies or dandelions
23. Build a hut out of branches or make a treehouse (nail the boards - and you're done.)
24. Go hiking (water, hiking, mountain...) Or just spend the night in a tent, even on your own site next to the house
25. And you can go with a child a real one-day trip. On the way, boil water for tea on a fire (or burner), fry bread and sausages on a fire. Collect everything. What comes across interesting underfoot. For a small child, this will be a real BIG adventure.
26. Collect mushrooms and berries
27. Catch a fish
28. Keep a diary of a young naturalist (observe anything - birds, insects, plants)
29. Watch the birds hatch their chicks
30. Fly a kite and play other street games

Summer is the time for relaxation, summer fun, sun, beach. But even on vacation, you can give your child a lot of useful and informative information about nature. It's all around us.

We watch the sun.

Walking with the baby, show him the sun, tell him that it shines brightly, it has become very warm. Talk about seasonal clothing. Say that the sun heats up more, so the children do not dress warmly. Name summer clothes. What sun? (speech development) - yellow, warm, bright, light, affectionate. What does it do? Shines, warms, illuminates, etc. People wear sunglasses in summer. Talk for what. How else is summer different from other seasons? Everything is green, lots of flowers. Tell a poem about the sun.

Watching clouds.

On a cloudy day, watch the clouds with your child. What are they doing? They float, they move, they fly. What are they? Soft, fluffy, rainy. Tell the baby that they can move slowly, or they can move quickly (the wind is blowing). Sometimes the clouds cover the sun and it doesn't get so hot. Consider the clouds - what they look like, compose a fairy tale about the clouds. Sing the song "Clouds, white-maned horses" with the baby.

On an overcast day, watch the clouds. They are dark, thunderous, heavy. When the sky is covered with clouds, it indicates the approach of rain. Tell the baby about thunder and lightning.

Watching the wind.

On a windy day, look with your child at the swaying trees. Tell your child that it is the wind that is blowing. Watch how the grass and trees sway. Take a turntable and expose it to a gust of wind - it will spin. Tell your child about the wind in different seasons: an icy wind blows in winter. We come up with more epithets - cold, winter, etc. In summer - a warm, light, pleasant breeze. Invite the child to expose his face to the wind, close his eyes. The wind caresses the cheeks, the face. You too can blow like the wind. Take a feather, put it on the palm of your hand and invite the baby to blow. By the way, this is an excellent exercise for the development of speech.

Watching the rain.

Going outside when it rains, note that today the weather is rainy, rainy, cloudy. Look at the raindrops - they are large or small. Pay attention to the child that puddles are formed. You can throw pebbles into puddles, measure the depth with a stick, launch boats. Listen to the sounds of dripping rain. Watch the drops run down the windows. Tell the kid about how the rain waters all the plants and they grow. Compare dry ground and wet, dry asphalt is light and wet is dark. After the rain, everything is wet - both the earth and the leaves. Drops glitter in the sun. My son and I have this "Kapitoshki". We love to shake them off the trees, touch them with our fingers.

We are watching the storm.

Watch the storm and its approach. Before a thunderstorm, heavy clouds cover the sky, a strong gusty wind rises. The wind shakes the trees a lot. Everything around is gradually darkening. Birds fly screaming, trying to hide. Lightning flashes, thunder rumbles.

We watch the rainbow.

Tell your child that there is a rainbow after the rain. Tell about the colors of the rainbow, draw a rainbow with your baby. Pay attention to the crumbs that it gradually appears and gradually disappears.

We watch the trees.

When walking with a child, show him various trees, name them. Offer to touch the bark - it is rough (for tactile sensations). Tell us about how you change your appearance trees at different times of the year. Now they are green, they have a lot of leaves. Each tree has its own leaves, unlike the others. Look at coniferous trees. Spruce and pine do not have leaves, but needles. They are green in both summer and winter. Teach your child to take care of trees - they purify the air.

Watching flowers.

Consider flowers. Talk about their color, size. Invite the child to smell the flower. Describe the structure of a flower. Name flowers - chamomile, dandelion, peony, etc. Flowers are indoor, garden and field. Consider how they differ. Have the child guess.

Watching the water.

All children love to play with water. And that's great! not only develop the baby, but also relieve stress. Tell your child that water can be liquid and solid (ice). Water can have different temperatures: warm if heated in the sun or on the stove, cool if put in the refrigerator. What kind of water? Liquid, transparent, flowing. Determine which objects sink in water and which do not. Please note that in summer people swim in the sea. Why?

We observe animals and insects.

Introduce your baby to the animals you meet and insects. Tell us about where they live, what they eat. Watch the behavior of the animals. Pay attention to the appearance - some have wool, others have feathers. Some crawl, others fly, others walk.

It is impossible to list everything, but the main thing is to say and show the child everything that you see, hear and feel yourself.

Observations in nature with children in summer

Observation - purposeful systematic perception of objects and phenomena of the surrounding world. It's complicated cognitive activity, it involves perception, thinking and speech, requires sustained attention. By organizing observations in nature, the educator solves a number of tasks in a complex:

Forms knowledge of nature in children.

Learn to observe.

Develops observation.

Educates aesthetically.

In the summer, new opportunities open up for children to get acquainted with nature: many changes take place in nature. The time spent by children on the site is increasing, so it is necessary to think in advance about the activities of adults and children on a walk.

Observation preparation includes:

Determination of the place of observation,

The choice of the object of observation,

Preparing an object for observation

Preparation of everything necessary for observation.

Observations of wildlife.

1. Observations of plants.

The trees and shrubs have lush green foliage. children look at the leaves various trees, note that they are different in shape, size; distinguish and name bushes and trees. In meadows, in parks, gardens - a lot of different flowers. Meadow flowers: dandelion, St. John's wort, yarrow, clover, chamomile, tansy, bluebell. Garden: peony, phlox, gladiolus, nasturtium, rose, aster, dahlia. You can talk about the healing properties of familiar plants from which infusion, tea, syrup, oil, powder are obtained. Some medicinal herbs can be planted on the site by organizing a phyto-garden or phyto-bed. The ability to pay attention to the beauty of nature, the ability to see the beautiful, to admire it is being formed. Children learn to take care of plants, not to crush, not to tear them unnecessarily.

2. Animal observations.

Continue to work on familiarization with animals. To consolidate the ideas received by children in the spring. Animals take care of the cubs, teach them to get food, hide from enemies. An adult needs to explain to children that a responsible time is coming for birds and animals - nursing offspring. Children should know how animals behave, how they call their mom and dad. The younger ones imitate the movements and voice reactions of animals, the older ones list. Pupils should explain where homeless animals come from, why they are dangerous.

3. Birdwatching.

In summer, children continue to watch birds. Pay attention to how fast birds fly, catching insects, note how often they fly to the nest with food for chicks. The teacher tells that the birds feed their chicks with insects in the summer, thus helping to preserve the plants. You can suggest finding evidence of the usefulness of birds (look at the bark of trees). Examining the trees, children will meet with traces of the destructive work of bark beetles and woodcutters. The guys themselves will conclude: "If there are no birds, then the tree will die." It is necessary to warn preschoolers that birds' nests should not be touched, otherwise they will stop living in them.

4. Observations of insects.

P Many insects appear: a butterfly, a grasshopper, a bee, an ant, a fly, a beetle, a mosquito, a dragonfly. Butterfly, moth, admire them all together, examine the structure of their bodies with a magnifying glass. Give the concept of "fragile", a moth - "a living beautiful flower." While admiring butterflies with children, an adult can tell them why butterfly wings have different colors. It turns out that it helps insects hide from enemies. The green grasshopper is difficult to spot on the green grass, but it can be heard well from afar. Invite the children to listen to the chirping of the grasshopper, watch how it jumps and hides in the grass. Arouse in children a good attitude towards this harmless creature. Ladybug, beetle. When observing, use a magnifying glass. Consider cobweb legs, a crack on the back, wings. To form a desire to admire and protect living beings, not to harm them. In summer, children and adults are annoyed by unpleasant "neighbors" - flies, wasps. However, in nature there is nothing superfluous. Explain to the children that flies destroy rotting plant and animal remains, being orderlies. Wasps benefit by eating harmful insects, including houseflies. Needs to be developed in children careful attitude to insects.

Observations for inanimate nature.

1. Seasonal and weather phenomena.

The sun shines brightly. Rains are rare, warm, sometimes torrential, with lightning, thunder and hail. While observing the rain, children are led to understand the causes different nature precipitation in winter and summer, their dependence on air temperature. The teacher teaches children not to be afraid of a thunderstorm, but to be careful not to hide under tall trees during a thunderstorm. It is interesting to observe morning and evening dew, fog, to explain the reason for their formation. Associate seasonal conditions with lightweight children's clothing. Listening to poetry promotes colorful perception and brings children to the concept - summer is red. Show a bright seasonal phenomenon - a rainbow. On walks, they observe the height of the sun. AT senior group When determining the height of the sun, you can observe the shadow from objects, from the children themselves in the morning, when the sun has not yet risen high, and in the afternoon, when the sun is almost overhead, measure the length of the shadow. For observations, it is necessary to choose an open convenient place, stick a stick into the ground and observe the shadow cast by a vertically standing stick, illuminated by the sun. Children notice that the higher the sun rises, the shorter the shadow from the stick.

2. Water, sand, clay, pebbles, shells.

Given to children under the supervision of an adult. Ideas about the properties of these natural materials are refined, deepened and consolidated in the process of organized observations and independent activity children. The most relevant and favorite games in summer period are games with water and sand.

Time summer walks should be used to collect natural material that may be useful in free time in winter, in play activities. It can be herbs, flowers for a herbarium, pebbles, twigs, cones.

You can also organize work on the ecological trail. The main purpose of the ecological trail for preschoolers is not so much informational as activity-playing. No need to strive to make everything look perfect - remove dry leaves, destroy weeds. The ecological trail may contain - a vegetable garden, a pharmacy corner, a meteorological platform, alpine slides, flower "clocks".

Krapivnitskaya Oksana Nikolaevna, preschool teacher

The tour is designed for children of middle and older preschool age. The teacher takes it for a walk in the summer, but it can also be included as a fragment of a lesson on familiarization with the natural world.

Preliminary work: To fix the sequence of flowering plants in a flower bed from April to September, a herbarium is created together with the children (dried flowers are glued on a sheet of paper in the order they appear)

Target: to activate children's interest in the world around them, to systematize children's knowledge about a particular flower - chamomile.

Tasks: cause in children a positive emotional response to the beauty and diversity of the flower world;

Educator: Tell me, why do flowers bloom so beautifully in our flower beds? But in the forest, the flowers are not so large.

Children: they take care of the flowers in the flower beds, but not in the forest.
caregiver: Yes, that's right, in order for the flowers to be large, you can clearly see them in the flower bed, you need to take care of them. Let's remember how we did it.
Children: They dug the ground, sowed seeds or planted seedlings, watered when the ground was dry, loosened the soil, weeded from weeds.
Educator: Sisters are standing in the flowerbeds:
They have a golden eye
white eyelashes
What is this flower I asked you a riddle about?
Children: Chamomile.

Educator: Do we have chamomile in the flower bed?
Children pay attention to daisies
