Educator:
Today we will conduct our lesson in the form of a game - a quiz. Topic: “Wild animals of hot countries.” We will divide into 2 teams: “Znayki” and “Pochemuchki”.
Competition No. 1
“Writer” Educator:
You are invited to portray a famous writer who came up with a story about an animal or bird of hot countries.
Team “Knowledge” begins. (The children learned this during two weeks of work on this topic and used it in their story.) A lion is a strong, beautiful and dexterous animal, similar to a big cat. The lion has a mane. A lioness does not have a mane. The animal's fur is yellow, short and smooth. At the end of the tail there is a tuft of hair. The lion's legs are very strong, with wide paws; the claws are sharp, like those of a cat, and the habits of a lion are feline. The lion sleeps during the day and goes hunting in the evening; It always lies in wait for its prey, unexpectedly rushes at it, strikes it with its powerful paw, tears it with its claws and sharp teeth. It also attacks livestock. Leo is a predator. Lions live in the steppes and deserts of Africa and South Asia. Due to its yellowish color, the lion is hardly noticeable among stones and sand. A lioness gives birth to 2-3 cubs - lion cubs, similar to large kittens. Giraffes are the tallest living creatures on earth. Their height can exceed 6 meters. They have long legs and a long neck, and a small head, topped with 2 (3-5 rarely) horns, sways importantly on the neck. The head is decorated with kind brown eyes and mobile narrow ears. The coat is short, with dark spots of bizarre shape scattered across a light yellow background. A short brown mane grows on the neck. The legs have hooves. At the end of the tail there is a tuft of hair. Giraffes feed only on tree leaves and young branches. Giraffes eat low-growing trees from above. They have a long tongue, up to half a meter, and tenacious lips. Favorite food is acacia. They, like experienced gardeners, trim the tree crowns. Wild giraffes live in Africa, where there are plenty of trees. A newborn giraffe is about 2 meters tall, that is, the height of a tall adult. Giraffes sleep standing up. They cannot run fast or much because of their small lungs, 2 times smaller than a horse’s lungs. Kangaroos are animals that live only in Australia. Their height reaches the height of a tall person. Animals move by jumping and at high speed. Kangaroos can jump over the heads of people standing at full height. They have long hind limb feet. The kangaroo moves on them. When males fight, they grab each other with their front paws and, leaning on their tail, hit the enemy with their hind paws. A kangaroo has a pocket on its belly. This is a marsupial. There is a baby kangaroo sitting in a pouch on the female’s belly. They feed on leaves. In the circus or in the zoo you can see a medium-sized kangaroo - a wallaby. The hippopotamus spends its entire life in water and leaves the pond to eat or sunbathe. His huge body, which would fit a monstrous pig, rests on the short legs of a pedestal. The body of hippopotamuses reaches 4 meters in length and 1.5 meters in height. The huge head is decorated with small ears and eyes, which are most often very kind. Dark brown thick skin is naked, short tail. Hippos start eating after sunset. They eat any grass. To get enough, hippos need 50 kg of grass. A hippo's baby is born underwater weighing 40-50 kg. To take a sip of milk, he must dive and find his mother's nipples. Now hippopotamuses are preserved only in Africa. The tiger is the largest of all cats on Earth. Its long body is covered with red fur with black stripes and it is invisible among the reeds and forests. The tiger has small ears and long whiskers. Legs with large strong paws. They have long sharp claws. Like a cat, a tiger cleans its fur and face with its paw and tongue, arching its back and playing with its tail. The tiger hunts deer, wild pigs, attacks domestic animals and rarely humans. Like a cat and a lion, a tiger quietly creeps up to its prey, hides and suddenly jumps on it. Catches prey with its front paws. When the tiger is hungry, he eats frogs and lizards, and even berries. Almost half of the tigers live in India, in our country - in the Far East. The elephant is the largest proboscis animal on land. Its gray thick skin is bare, only at the tip of its tail there is a tuft of hair. The short, massive body rests on thick, pillar-like legs with 5 toes each. The neck is very short and clumsy. Large ears hang on the head. Small eyes set deep. The nose, fused with the upper lip, is extended into a long trunk, at the end of which there are nostrils and a finger-like outgrowth that acts as an organ of touch. The trunk is very mobile. An elephant can lift large and small objects from the ground, tear off branches and bring them to its mouth, and tear out trees. Two tusks protrude from the elephant’s mouth, with which the elephant clears its way in the forest, defends itself from enemies, and digs up the roots of plants. Elephants have 24 molars in their jaws, but only 4 are active at a time, the rest are hidden.
People catch and tame elephants, force them to carry weights, and ride them. Elephants' food is grass, branches, leaves, roots, fruits. An adult elephant eats 180 kg of greens and drinks about 100 liters of water. Elephants, breaking off branches, seriously damage the forest. Elephants are found in the forests of Africa and Southeast Asia. Elephants give birth to one calf and for 3-5 years the elephant feeds it with her milk. A baby elephant grows up at 8-12 years of age. Monkeys are the smallest and most primitive monkeys. Weight up to 10 kg. The body structure of the monkey is adapted to life in the trees. Both pairs of limbs are similar to human hands: the fingers are covered not with claws, but with nails; palms and soles are free of hair. When climbing trees, they use all four limbs like hands; They walk on the ground on all fours. Monkeys deftly jump from branch to branch. Swing on them. Monkeys feed on buds and juicy fruits of trees, and in summer on bird eggs. In some places they raid gardens and vegetable gardens. Monkeys live in herds in the forests of Asia and Africa. Marmosets are often kept in captivity. They are very sociable and imitate people's actions. The female takes great care of her cubs, feeds them milk, and then brings them insects, berries, and bird eggs. (One of the children comes out to applause and tells his story, showing a picture of an animal).

“Riddles and Guessings” Educator:
First, the “WhyCheks” team makes its riddle to the “Knowledgers,” and then the “Knowledgers” make a riddle to the “Whychechens.”
Walks softly along the paths, Looks like a big cat, Flexible, mustachioed, Striped fur. Even though he looks like a cat - You won’t approach him: There is great strength in his paws - He can overwhelm a bull, There’s no time to play with this beast, He’s very dangerous... (tiger) (S.

I pecked at the millet a little, and suddenly from the cage I saw a cat. I told her in the voice of a housewife: “Do you want to eat, beggar?” The cat looks and doesn’t understand, Who is calling her to eat? (Parrot) (V. Miryasova) Thin neck, long legs, A strange bird runs along the road, flaps its wings, cannot take off, But a person cannot keep up with it. The run of that bird is very fast - No, a person will not catch up with it. And there’s no need, because she might kick. She doesn’t like it when people block her path. These birds nest right in the grass, green eggs are stored in the nests, male fathers sit in bird nests, guard the chicks, do not drink or eat. There is no larger bird in the world than this one. Who is this bird? Come up with an answer. (Ostrich) (S. Vasilyeva) The tusks turn white, like snow, The animal is the strongest.

Vasilyeva) Its beak has a big bag, It catches fish like a net. (pelican) came to the zoo from distant countries . (S. Vasilyeva) He is not an old man - but a hunchback, Not a sheep - but a treasure trove of wool, And strong and patient, And not whimsical in food, He likes deserts, He lives where melons ripen. (Camel) (V. Miryasova) There are a lot of needles - but not a hedgehog, Even though he looks like a hedgehog. Its spines are longer, its white needles are sharper. He raises them high - This is how this beast scares his enemies. The beast is prickly and formidable outside, It eats fruits and leaves for dinner. He only lives in hot countries, and is waiting for us to visit the zoo. (Porcupine) (S. Vasilyeva) I can jump through trees no worse than a cat And in our ancient jungles I don’t need paths. Green vines will replace my swing, If only my favorite bananas ripen. (Monkey) (V. Miryasova) There are quite a few horned animals In the zoo and in the forest They all have horns on their heads, Only one has horns on their nose. (Rhinoceros) (S. Vasilyeva) Thick-skinned, thick-lipped, And there are four teeth in the mouth. If he opens his mouth, you might faint! (Hippopotamus) (S. Vasilyeva)

Animals living in hot countries
The fauna of the hot regions of the world is diverse, and the animals there are beautiful, although the shapes and sizes of some do not seem the most attractive.
Different types of monkeys
Orangutans, chimpanzees, gorillas and other representatives of monkeys are a large group in which there are small individuals and huge, dangerous predatory animals with fangs several centimeters long. In their habits, behavior and some other aspects, these animals are very similar to people, and therefore often become objects of adoration.
Most monkeys have a long tail, which helps them climb trees. They also have long arms and legs with 5 fingers, with which they can cling to vines and branches and pick fruits.
Primates are an extremely intelligent species, distinguished by the ability to hide, wait, live in a pack, deftly get rid of predators and get food. The body of most monkeys is covered with hair, but without underfur, and there is no hair on part of the face.
The classic color is brown, brown, gray or black, as well as red, but there are also more exotic species. Mandrills, for example, have red and blue colored faces.
Lion is the king of the animals
A large wild cat that can break the back of a bull, antelope or other herbivore with one blow. Lions have the loudest roar; if you are close to them, you can easily go deaf for several minutes. Due to this, the cat received the proud title “King of Beasts”.
Lions live in packs called prides. In one group there is usually one male and several females, but there are prides in which 2-3 males dominate. Males have huge, beautiful manes, while females do not have them. The male has a tassel at the tip of his tail. The leaders of the pack, as a rule, do not go out hunting, leaving this right to the lionesses.
Elephants
The seemingly calm, intelligent and obedient animals are among the largest of those that live on land. The elephant is one of the few herbivores that can resist lions and tigers. The huge trunk serves as a “hand” for the elephant - it communicates with it, drinks water, and collects fruits and twigs from trees. Elephants have very thick skin that protects them from predators and the scorching sun.
Kangaroo
These animals live only in Australia and belong to the infraclass marsupials. Kangaroos grow taller than humans, but are born very tiny, after which they immediately move into their mother’s “pouch” and live there for several months. As soon as the cub turns one year old, it will leave the pouch.
Kangaroos have a very powerful tail and hind legs, allowing them to develop enormous speed and jump at distances of 7-10 m, or even more. These animals belong to the group of herbivores and feed mainly at night.
In Australia, the kangaroo population is protected, as at one time they were actively exterminated for meat.
Camels
Tall herbivores with 1 or 2 humps. They easily tolerate the drought of the hottest places on the planet - the Sahara and other deserts. They are distinguished by colossal endurance. They can easily survive for several weeks without food and a little less time without water.
Almost complete omnivory helps them survive - lichens, dry grass, cactus spines. A camel eats any food. And when danger appears, this animal is capable of unpleasantly spitting.
Zebras
Graceful representatives of the African continent have a short, protruding mane and a tail, like a donkey’s, with a small tassel. They are distinguished by their original striped colors. Moreover, the stripes are very clear. Adult zebras feed on tree bark, grass, and young twigs. Often groups of zebras graze together with giraffes, antelopes and even ostriches.
This “social” animal can fend for itself. If threatened, the zebra begins to bite and kick the enemy.
Giraffes
The tallest representative of terrestrial fauna, characterized by slowness. You can recognize them by their characteristic spotted color, head with horns and unusual physique. Giraffes also have extremely sharp hooves with which they can kill an enemy. They have excellent vision and hearing.
Indian porcupine
It has many long and sharp needles that it can throw at the enemy. When meeting an enemy, it “swells up”, raising its needles, and scares the potential victim. However, porcupines eat only plant foods.

Educator
: Children, I received a strange package today, it contains some kind of map, on it are several animals from hot countries. And, excuse me, there is also a note here: “Dear guys, I am writing to you with a big request, to draw for me animals from hot countries.
I used to have a map with all the animals, but something bad happened to me. I was caught in a big storm on my ship, the waves were so strong that they hit my cabin and blurred the map. True, there are a few animals left, but I don’t remember at all what a giraffe, elephant, lion, camel, monkey, zebra, tiger look like. I first turned to animal artists, but they didn't remember exactly these animals. I need the card urgently, all the animals in Africa are sick.
