International Bird Day

Flocks of birds fly in the sky, You can’t take your eyes off their guy. Today people congratulate birds on their international spring day. I would like to wish the feathered and winged a simple and well-fed Life. In a clear, peaceful sky for them to fly. For people to be protected. April 1 – International Bird Day

April 1 – International Bird Day International Bird Day is held annually within the framework of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere program and it is no coincidence that it is celebrated in April. On April 1, 1906, the International Convention for the Conservation of Birds was signed.

April 1 is International Bird Day. Bird Day is not only the anniversary of the Convention, but also the time of arrival of birds from wintering grounds. In Russia, the holiday has been celebrated since 1994, but also early return Migratory birds were celebrated because it meant the coming of spring. An ancient custom is to bake larks from dough on this day and sing special chants. One of the oldest traditions is hanging birdhouses, titmice, cackling houses and other “bird houses” on this day.

April 1 is International Bird Day. Sparrows, starlings, tits and other birds too. Accept congratulations, And fly to the food. On your international day, we are not too lazy to feed you. We promise now to Always take care of you.

Many countries have laws and participate in international agreements to protect migratory birds. However, a more serious threat to birds comes not from hunters, but from completely “peaceful” species human activity. Skyscrapers, television towers and other high-rise buildings are deadly obstacles for migratory birds. Birds are hit and crushed by cars. Oil spills in the sea kill many aquatic birds. Environmental pollution poses an equally serious threat. Natural pollutants are substances that are constantly present in nature.

The first of April is World Bird Day. We congratulate everyone involved in the holiday. Let it be without barriers, let it be without borders. May all of you be surrounded by overflows of happiness. Let the birds' hubbub into your home, let it bring joy and fun. And let the feathered friend flap his wing. Happy holiday to all of you on this spring day!

Birds are our friends!

Take care of the birds!

introduction teachers about Bird Day.

“International Bird Day” is an international environmental holiday that is celebrated annually on April 1. IN Russian Federation is the most famous of the “bird” holidays.

Leading: With the arrival of spring, our friends - migratory birds - return to us. They attract with their bizarre plumage, singing, movements, flight, and, of course, mysterious way of life. A characteristic property of the vast majority of birds is the ability to fly. Birds fly excellently thanks to the characteristics of their feathers.

The feather is a miracle of nature's art.

There are a lot of birds, they differ in size, color and habits. The largest bird in the world is the African ostrich, its height reaches 2.75 m, weight 90 kg. In our country, the bustard can be considered the largest bird.

The smallest birds in the world are hummingbirds.

Birds are dear to us not only because of the great benefits they bring, but also as an adornment of our wonderful Motherland. We need to protect them. To protect and increase the wealth of all nature, so that our entire planet becomes a beautiful, huge garden.

Leading: Four teams from two classes are participating in our holiday today. I ask the teams to introduce themselves - give their name and the name of the captain.

We will spend our holiday in the form of lessons. The lesson schedule for today is on the board (images are projected on screen):Russian language, History, Physical education, Geography, Drawing, Music.

The first lesson is the Russian Language Lesson.

Leading: Teams are given 15 names of birds listed in the Red Book with missing vowels.

You must restore the names of the birds - insert the missing letters (Appendix 1).

(Consultants hand out task cards.)

First lesson assignment:

Saker falcon – b..l..b..n Berkut – b..rk..t
Great godwit – v..r..t..nn..to big..big..th Gogol-g..g..l
Woodpecker - d..t..l Kingfisher - z..m..r..d..k
Snake eagle - zm....d Plover - z....k
Kobchik – k..bch..k Tern - cr..chk..
Kulik – k..l..k Partridge - k..r..p..tk..
Tawny owl - n..s..t Crake - p..g..n..sh
Sapsan – s..p..s..n Roller – s..w..v..r..nk..

Leading: You are given 4 minutes to complete the task. Hand over the task card to the consultants.

(After 4 minutes, the consultants collect cards with answers and hand them over to the jury. On the screen is a frame of the presentation with answers.)

The second lesson is History Lesson.

Leading: I will tell you stories, and your task is to guess the bird that is mentioned in this story. The names of the birds need to be written on cards that the consultants hand out to you.

(Consultants hand out answer sheets. The presenter reads the stories one at a time, after each story the teams write down the name of the bird.)

1. Perhaps no other bird has so many legends, no other bird is associated with so many beliefs as this one. Some peoples exalted her, others cursed her. The Chinese considered it a symbol of prosperity, the Polynesians considered it the evil god of the night, and among the ancient Greeks it personified wisdom. In the middle of the century, the church declared this bird an “unclean animal,” a servant of the devil. What kind of bird is this? (Owl.) Write the name of the bird on a card and hand it to the consultant.

2. Listen to the second legend. It was these birds that flew in and with their beaks pulled out the nails with which Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross. For this, God rewarded them with a crossed beak and canonized them as saints. Indeed, dead birds do not decompose for a long time and, preserving the beauty of their plumage, can lie for years without change. (Crossbill.) Write the name of the bird on a card and hand it to the consultant.

3. One of the most widespread legends about this bird says that one woman killed her husband and, as punishment, was turned by God into a bird that was not destined to have her own family. Since then the bird has been crying bitterly, its tears turning into grass, and its sad voice is heard far around. Compassionate people call her a poor widow, but what is the real name of this bird. (Cuckoo.) Write the name of the bird on a card and hand it to the consultant.

4. And here is another legendary bird. She leads a nocturnal lifestyle. She has an unusual appearance: large bulging eyes, small legs not adapted for walking, and most importantly, a huge mouth. In the evenings, this bird often hovers over the herds, snooping right next to the udders of goats and cows. In Spain he is called the deceiver of the shepherds. What do we call it? (Nightjar.) Write the name of the bird on a card and hand it to the consultant.

(The consultants collect cards with answers and hand them over to the jury. On the screen is a frame of the presentation with the answers to this task.)

Change is a game with fans.

Leading: Now we have a break and we will play with the team fans. I will ask questions to our viewers, and for each correct answer the teams will receive a point. Which team gets the ball is determined by the spectator who gave the correct answer.

Questions for playing with fans:

  1. What bird is born with a specialty? (Secretary bird.)
  2. A bird that lives at the south pole? (Penguin.)
  3. The hind limbs of ducks are turned into ... (flippers).
  4. Birds originated from... (reptiles).

  6. The hazel grouse belongs to the order... (chickens).
  7. The forelimbs of birds are turned into... (wings).
  8. The only skin gland in birds... (coccygeal).
  9. Do birds have teeth? (No.)
  10. The bird is a forest orderly. (Woodpecker.)
  11. Which forest bird has eyes that move to the back of its head? (Woodcock.)
  12. The voice of this bird is similar to the hiss of a snake. (Wryneck.)
  13. This songbird has both females and males singing. (Bullfinch.)
  14. A bird that can feed on stinging insects. (Bee-eater.)
  15. The country is a winter paradise for birds. (Egypt)
  16. The science that studies birds? (Ornithology.)
  17. Another name for the black woodpecker. (Zhelna.)
  18. Bird singing at night? (Nightingale.)
  19. A bird without a voice? (Stork.)
  20. This bird is called a feathered cat. (Owl.)

The third lesson is Physical Education Lesson.

Leading: You've all heard about penguins. Answer the question. Can a polar bear eat penguins?

Bird relay. A matchbox is clamped between the knees and the participant walks the distance.

Leading: One participant from each team is invited to the relay race.

(Four people line up on one side, they are given one box, hold it between their knees, and reach the finish line.)

Fourth lesson – Drawing lesson.

Each team needs one participant to come out and draw a bird according to the description. The consultant gives the participant a text describing the bird. The participants of this competition draw while the teams complete the task of the fifth lesson.

Leading: While one member from the team is completing a drawing task, we go to the fifth lesson.

Fifth lesson - Geography.

Leading: You see images of six birds. Based on the description, you need to determine what kind of bird we are talking about.

(Descriptions are distributed to the teams by a consultant. The presenter reads the description once for the audience.)

  1. Migrant our area, which flies to northern France and Germany for the winter? (Rook.)
  2. What is the largest bird in South America? (Emu.)
  3. A migratory bird in our area that flies to northern Africa or Asia for the winter? (Lark.)
  4. Wetland bird? (Snipe.)
  5. Large bird Australia? (Nandu.)
  6. A bird listed in the Red Book of Chuvashia? (Slavka.)

Leading: And now it's time to sum up the results of the drawing competition. Teams - please submit your drawings.

(Consultants present drawings of the teams to the jury.)

Leading: So, the teams drew: Owl, Parrot, Hoopoe and Penguin. Please look at the drawings of the teams and the birds they drew. (On the screen is a frame of a presentation with images of birds; consultants show the drawings to the audience.)

Leading: Here comes the last one for today lesson – Music lesson.

First task: “Guess the voices of the birds.” There will be four recordings of bird voices, write them in order on the answer cards (consultants hand out cards, recorded bird voices are heard, after each command the name of the birds is written on the card): greylag goose, lark, oriole, song thrush.

And now the second task is the most interesting: please remember and sing a verse of a song that contains the name of a bird. (Teams are given one minute to remember the song, and teams take turns singing; if they cannot sing, then at least name the song.)

Leading: Our competition has come to an end. Now the jury will sum up the results (Appendix 2) and award the winners.

(The jury calculates the final points and awards the winners.)

Bird Day!

The swallows disappeared, And yesterday at dawn All the rooks were flying Yes, like a net, Flashing behind that mountain. (A. Fet) In a foreign land I religiously observe the native custom of an old age: I release a bird into the wild on the bright holiday of spring. (A.S. Pushkin) Who is the author?

Birds are the only animals with feathers. They are one of the largest classes of vertebrates. - Birds build nests and hatch chicks from eggs. - Most birds can fly. - Kiwis, penguins and ostriches do not fly. - There are more than 9,000 species on earth various birds. - Birds live in the open sea, the Arctic zone, the tropics and even in deserts. - There are domestic birds that people raise for food - chickens, ducks, turkeys and decorative birds - pigeons, parrots. Which people keep in the house.

Don't disturb the birds while they are building their nest. - Watch the departure and arrival of birds. - Make houses and feeders for birds. - Provide drinking bowls and swimming areas for birds. - Help birds nesting in bushes build a nest. - Make “pockets” for nests and funnels. - Do not destroy bird nests, do not touch the testicles in them. - Do not keep captured birds in cages: most of them die from longing for freedom. SOME GOOD ADVICE

Maximum age of some birds (years). Goldfinch 23 Lark 24 Black-headed gull 25 Nightingale 25 Herring gull 45 Owl 60 Stork 60 Swan 70 Eagle owl 71 Crow 120

The speed at which some birds fly (KM/H): Raven 38 Sparrowhawk 40 Seagull 49 Magpie 56 Pigeon 62 Rook 72 Swan 88 Duck 96 Falcon 99 Swift 108 Eagle 160

Geese fly high - there will be a lot of water, low - there will be little. If wild ducks arrive fat, the spring will be cold and long. If the rooks fly straight to their nests, spring will come soon, the melt water will run away quickly, and warmth will be established. Early arrival of cranes means early spring. The early arrival of rooks and larks means a warm spring. Crows bathe in puddles in early spring - a sign of warmth. signs

He is faithful to the sea, like a sailor, the Harbinger of a storm... (Albatross) You will not find another bird like this - instead of a dog, an assistant in the hunt. (Falcon) Spinning and chirping, busy all day. (Magpie)

Birds of prey are ferocious hunters, blessed with sharp talons, beaks and excellent eyesight. Predator birds.

Birds of our region. cuckoo woodpecker duck blackbird

Mallards Mallards are found throughout almost the entire Northern Hemisphere, and also in Australia and New Zealand, it was these inconspicuous ducks that became the ancestors of all domestic ducks. Woodpeckers spend most of their lives in trees. The woodpecker hammers the trunk with its strong beak and then pulls out the insect larvae with its sticky tongue. Many songbirds belong to the thrush family. Its representatives live in all parts of the world and every year announce the arrival of spring with their songs. Thrushes nest in trees and bushes and feed on fruits, insects and worms. Sometimes, in search of food, they fly into gardens.

Nests Crows build large, untidy nests in the treetops. They are constructed from branches and held together with clay and moss. The inside is lined with a thick layer of soft wool. Swallows build cup-shaped nests from clay under the roofs of buildings. Plovers do not build nests. These birds lay eggs on pebbles. Where their colorful eggs merge with the stones. The Indian weaver bird makes its nest by “sewing” leaves together with gossamer silk borrowed from spider webs.

In order to survive, most birds take to the air. But some of them completely lost the ability to fly. They flee from their enemies. And penguins swim no worse than fish. Flightless birds.

Songbirds are found in all parts of the world; the number of their species exceeds 4000. Some sing better than others, others worse, but they all communicate with each other through sounds. As a rule, songbirds are small and not armed with strong talons or sharp beaks. But their paws are ideally suited to hold on to a branch without fear of falling to the ground.

Each organism has its own home. All animal species live in interaction with each other. A person greatly influences wildlife. One must be very careful that this influence does not lead to permanent consequences. Bird conservation.

What role do birds play in our lives and for nature?

Of course, birds play a very important role in nature and human life. And therefore in the spring it is everyone’s responsibility to make birdhouses for the birds. But in birdhouses hung in large quantities on the walls and balconies of multi-storey buildings, you rarely hear the noise of birds. We must remember that birds are repelled by noise, the movement of people and vehicles. You should not paint nesting boxes - it scares away the birds. And we must also remember that per 1 hectare (100 * 100 m) 5-7 birdhouses and 10 titmice should be hung - this is within the city. There are up to 30 birdhouses on the outskirts.

This is our holiday, dedicated to the day birds ends. We hope that you will take care and protect the birds!



Slide 2

Nests

Most birds build nests and use them only for breeding.

  • woodpecker nest
  • Weaver's nest
  • Eagle's nest
  • Swallow's nest
  • Slide 3

    Eggs

    The shape and color of the eggs serve to ensure their safety. In birds that nest on the ground, the eggs have a protective coloring that camouflages them. The eggs of birds that nest in hollows are painted in light colors so that they can be seen in almost complete darkness. Bird eggs, like birds themselves, vary greatly in size. The largest eggs are laid by ostriches. They are 2,000 times larger than the smallest hummingbird eggs. Ostrich eggs are 180 mm long and 140 mm wide and weigh 1.2 kg. Hummingbird eggs are 13 mm long and 8 mm wide and weigh only half a gram.

    Slide 4

    Bird eggs (in comparison)

    • Emu egg
    • Albatross egg
    • Herring gull egg
    • hummingbird egg
    • Gray Flycatcher Egg
    • Little Owl Egg
    • Guillemot egg
    • Common snipe egg
    • Thrush Egg
  • Slide 5

    Let's get acquainted with some birds of Russia and listen to their voices

  • Slide 6

    Sparrow

    • A small wintering bird. It usually stays near human habitation and feeds on various garbage.
    • There are two types of sparrows: the field sparrow and the house sparrow. U tree sparrow The “cap” is brown, while the brownie’s is gray.
  • Slide 7

    Crow

    Large wintering bird. Most of its body is gray, while its head, throat, wings and tail are black. It feeds on small animals, food waste, and plant foods. Like the sparrow, it usually stays near human habitation.

    Slide 8

    Rook

    • The rook is the “relative” of the crow. And about the same height. But the rook is all black, with a beautiful metallic sheen. The base of the beak of adult rooks is whitish.
    • This bird is migratory, i.e. spends the winter in the southern regions. In spring, the rooks are the first to return. They feed on worms, larvae, and plant seeds.
  • Slide 9

    Woodpecker

    • The Great Spotted Woodpecker is larger than the Starling. The male has a red spot on the back of his head, but the female does not. The entire life of this bird is connected with the tree trunk. In summer it feeds on insects, larvae, in winter on pine and spruce seeds, as well as acorns and nuts.
    • The woodpecker will hammer the plucked cone into a crack or crevice in the tree and begin to knock on it to knock out the seeds. He picks the next one and carries it to the “smithy”. He pulls the old one out of the crack and throws it aside, strengthens the new one and starts hammering again. I get about 70 cones per day.
  • Slide 10

    Tit

    • An agile and agile wintering bird. It feeds on insects, spiders, and seeds. Nests are usually made in tree hollows.
    • Most often we encounter big tit. The bright yellow breast and belly of this bird are bisected by a wide black stripe. Make a feeder at your window, in the garden, at the edge of the forest, sprinkle leftover food, seeds, bread crumbs there - tits will give you a lot of pleasure with their cheerful appearance and ringing voice.
  • Slide 11

    Magpie

    • Magpies eat a wide variety of foods. These are insects and rodents. Magpies also often destroy bird nests, carrying eggs and chicks. Magpies living next to a person are not afraid to steal some food from him.
    • The magpie is a black and white bird. The head, neck, chest and back are black with a purple or bluish-green metallic tint, the belly and shoulders are white. The long tail and wings are black. The magpie is the only known non-mammal that can recognize itself in a mirror.
  • Slide 12

    Bullfinch

    • This bird appears here closer to winter. The first snow and the first bullfinch! The bullfinch feeds mainly on seeds, buds and berries. Feeding on berries, it eats the seeds out of them, leaving the pulp.
    • The chicks are fed mainly with plant food, and insects are eaten only accidentally.
  • Slide 13

    Nuthatch

    • This bird is the size of a sparrow. Able to move along the trunk upside down. It feeds on insects, pine and spruce seeds, and acorns. Sometimes it imitates a woodpecker - it chisels the bark and extracts larvae from under it.
    • The nuthatch stores food for the winter. And acorns, and nuts, and maple lionfish - everything is stuffed into cracks and crevices. He works hard all autumn, and then in winter he looks for his storerooms.
  • Slide 14

    Crossbill

    • This bird differs from others in its crossed beak, with which it takes seeds from cones. Crossbills hatch their chicks in winter, usually at the end of February.
    • Diurnal, noisy and active bird. Feeds on seeds coniferous trees. It flies quickly, along a wavy trajectory. In flight, a flock of crossbills call to each other, making “kep-kap-kap”.
  • Slide 15

    • The nightingale is an invisible bird. He is quiet and very cautious. Nightingales, like people, take a long time to learn to sing. Only in the third year of life do they become singers. They are among the last to return from warm countries in the spring.
    • As soon as the chicks appear, the nightingale trills cease. The male and female carry caterpillars, flies and beetles to the young. After ten days, the chicks jump out of the nest (it is located on the ground) and travel around the surrounding area with their parents until the end of summer. And then - to Africa for the winter.
  • Slide 16

    Kinglet

    The smallest bird in our country, weighs only 5-6 grams. They called it the king because of the bright yellow stripe on its head. It's like a crown!

    In winter, kinglets do not fly away anywhere; they wander through forests, gardens and parks in search of food. In summer they live in coniferous forests, often in spruce forests, feeding on small insects and seeds.

    Slide 17

    Robin

    • The robin, or robin, is a migratory bird, but one of the first to return to the northern regions. It usually lives on the ground, in bushes, and moves by jumping.
    • Robins search the ground for insects, earthworms and snails. In autumn they also eat berries. He is almost not afraid of people, and if a person does not move, he can fly close to him and look at him with curiosity.
  • Slide 18

    Finch

    • In spring it comes to us following starlings and larks. It lives in forests and parks of all types, often close to human habitation.
    • It feeds on insects, seeds and green parts of plants. The finch can be recognized by its bright color and voice. The song is presented as a trill, ending with a "stroke" (a short, sharp sound) at the end.
  • Slide 19

    Waxwing

    • A songbird with a prominent crest, it moves in large groups with fast and direct flight. Distributed in the taiga forest zone. It feeds on berries, buds of trees and bushes.
    • Waxwings are very voracious: they spend the entire winter day in search of food or are busy eating. The gluttony of birds is so great that not all the food they eat is absorbed by the body: some of the berries and fruits are excreted in an undigested form from the intestines of the birds and, once in the soil, produce full-fledged shoots.
  • Slide 20

    Warbler

    • A small, squat, dimly colored bird with a short tail. It feeds on small insects and their larvae, as well as spiders. IN large quantities eats flies, moth caterpillars and other butterflies, small beetles. In autumn it feeds on elderberries.
    • It eats about a third of its own weight in food per day, and before the autumn migration it gains additional fat necessary to cover long distances.
  • Slide 21

    Jay

    The bird is the size of a jackdaw, bright and noisy. Inhabits coniferous, mixed and deciduous forests. The jay feeds on mixed food. In autumn and winter it eats acorns and various berries. Makes supplies for the winter from acorns. In spring and summer, the jay feeds mainly on insects, including such harmful ones as the cockchafer, longhorned beetle, weevils, leaf beetles, silkworm caterpillars, etc. Among other animals, the jay, on occasion, eats small rodents, small birds and their eggs, lizards, frogs.

  • Slide 22

    Thrush

    • They also feed on insects, spiders, worms, mollusks, berries, and often feed on the ground. They move along the ground by jumping and crouching.
    • Large (larger than a starling) nomadic birds, with a breast covered in black spots. You can see them until winter if there is a large harvest on the rowan trees.
  • Slide 23

    Cuckoo

    • Slightly smaller than a pigeon. This voracious bird throughout the summer exterminates harmful caterpillars, especially hairy ones, which almost all small birds avoid, eats cockchafers, butterflies, and occasionally soft berries. Scientists consider it one of the the most useful birds forests.
    • They do not build their own nests, but lay eggs in the nests of small birds, and the cuckoo eats one of the eggs of the owner of the nest. The grown-up cuckoo throws other chicks out of the nest, and their parents continue to feed it.
  • Slide 24

    Martin

    • These birds fly beautifully. In the air they feed - they catch insects. There are three common types of swallows in our country. The barn swallow (killer whale) has a forked tail with long feathers. She has a bright red-brown spot on her throat and forehead.
    • The city swallow does not have funnels long tail and spots on the throat. The shore swallow is a dull brown bird that lives near the water.
  • Teacher's opening speech about Bird Day.

    “International Bird Day” is an international environmental holiday that is celebrated annually on April 1. In the Russian Federation it is the most famous of the “bird” holidays.

    Leading: With the arrival of spring, our friends - migratory birds - return to us. They attract with their bizarre plumage, singing, movements, flight, and, of course, mysterious way of life. A characteristic property of the vast majority of birds is the ability to fly. Birds fly excellently thanks to the characteristics of their feathers.

    The feather is a miracle of nature's art.

    There are a lot of birds, they differ in size, color and habits. The largest bird in the world is the African ostrich, its height reaches 2.75 m, weight 90 kg. In our country, the bustard can be considered the largest bird.

    The smallest birds in the world are hummingbirds.

    Birds are dear to us not only because of the great benefits they bring, but also as an adornment of our wonderful Motherland. We need to protect them. To protect and increase the wealth of all nature, so that our entire planet becomes a beautiful, huge garden.

    Leading: Four teams from two classes are participating in our holiday today. I ask the teams to introduce themselves - give their name and the name of the captain.

    We will spend our holiday in the form of lessons. The lesson schedule for today is on the board (images are projected on screen):Russian language, History, Physical education, Geography, Drawing, Music.

    The first lesson is the Russian Language Lesson.

    Leading: Teams are given 15 names of birds listed in the Red Book with missing vowels.

    You must restore the names of the birds - insert the missing letters (Appendix 1).

    (Consultants hand out task cards.)

    Leading: You are given 4 minutes to complete the task. Hand over the task card to the consultants.

    (After 4 minutes, the consultants collect cards with answers and hand them over to the jury. On the screen is a frame of the presentation with answers.)

    The second lesson is History Lesson.

    Leading: I will tell you stories, and your task is to guess the bird that is mentioned in this story. The names of the birds need to be written on cards that the consultants hand out to you.

    (Consultants hand out answer sheets. The presenter reads the stories one at a time, after each story the teams write down the name of the bird.)

    1. Perhaps no other bird has so many legends, no other bird is associated with so many beliefs as this one. Some peoples exalted her, others cursed her. The Chinese considered it a symbol of prosperity, the Polynesians considered it the evil god of the night, and among the ancient Greeks it personified wisdom. In the middle of the century, the church declared this bird an “unclean animal,” a servant of the devil. What kind of bird is this? (Owl.) Write the name of the bird on a card and hand it to the consultant.

    2. Listen to the second legend. It was these birds that flew in and with their beaks pulled out the nails with which Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross. For this, God rewarded them with a crossed beak and canonized them as saints. Indeed, dead birds do not decompose for a long time and, preserving the beauty of their plumage, can lie for years without change. (Crossbill.) Write the name of the bird on a card and hand it to the consultant.

    3. One of the most widespread legends about this bird says that one woman killed her husband and, as punishment, was turned by God into a bird that was not destined to have her own family. Since then the bird has been crying bitterly, its tears turning into grass, and its sad voice is heard far around. Compassionate people call her a poor widow, but what is the real name of this bird. (Cuckoo.) Write the name of the bird on a card and hand it to the consultant.

    4. And here is another legendary bird. She leads a nocturnal lifestyle. She has an unusual appearance: large bulging eyes, small legs not adapted for walking, and most importantly, a huge mouth. In the evenings, this bird often hovers over the herds, snooping right next to the udders of goats and cows. In Spain he is called the deceiver of the shepherds. What do we call it? (Nightjar.) Write the name of the bird on a card and hand it to the consultant.

    (The consultants collect cards with answers and hand them over to the jury. On the screen is a frame of the presentation with the answers to this task.)

    Change is a game with fans.

    Leading: Now we have a break and we will play with the team fans. I will ask questions to our viewers, and for each correct answer the teams will receive a point. Which team gets the ball is determined by the spectator who gave the correct answer.

    The third lesson is Physical Education Lesson.

    Leading: You've all heard about penguins. Answer the question. Can a polar bear eat penguins?

    Bird relay. A matchbox is clamped between the knees and the participant walks the distance.

    Leading: One participant from each team is invited to the relay race.

    (Four people line up on one side, they are given one box, hold it between their knees, and reach the finish line.)

    Fourth lesson – Drawing lesson.

    Each team needs one participant to come out and draw a bird according to the description. The consultant gives the participant a text describing the bird. The participants of this competition draw while the teams complete the task of the fifth lesson.

    Leading: While one member from the team is completing a drawing task, we go to the fifth lesson.

    Fifth lesson - Geography.

    Leading: You see images of six birds. Based on the description, you need to determine what kind of bird we are talking about.

    (Descriptions are distributed to the teams by a consultant. The presenter reads the description once for the audience.)

    1. A migratory bird in our area that flies to northern France and Germany for the winter? (Rook.)
    2. What is the largest bird in South America? (Emu.)
    3. A migratory bird in our area that flies to northern Africa or Asia for the winter? (Lark.)
    4. Wetland bird? (Snipe.)
    5. Australia's largest bird? (Nandu.)
    6. A bird listed in the Red Book of Chuvashia? (Slavka.)

    Leading: And now it's time to sum up the results of the drawing competition. Teams - please submit your drawings.

    (Consultants present drawings of the teams to the jury.)

    Leading: So, the teams drew: Owl, Parrot, Hoopoe and Penguin. Please look at the drawings of the teams and the birds they drew. (On the screen is a frame of a presentation with images of birds; consultants show the drawings to the audience.)

    Leading: Here comes the last one for today lesson – Music lesson.

    First task: “Guess the voices of the birds.” There will be four recordings of bird voices, write them in order on the answer cards (consultants hand out cards, recorded bird voices are heard, after each command the name of the birds is written on the card): greylag goose, lark, oriole, song thrush.

    And now the second task is the most interesting: please remember and sing a verse of a song that contains the name of a bird. (Teams are given one minute to remember the song, and teams take turns singing; if they cannot sing, then at least name the song.)

    Leading: Our competition has come to an end. Now the jury will sum up the results (Appendix 2) and award the winners.

    (The jury calculates the final points and awards the winners.)
