A long time ago in India they invented a game where the king, although the main figure, means little without the support and protection of other pieces. This game is called chess.

Legend and history of chess.

There is a legend about the history of the emergence of the chess game.
A long time ago there was a tyrannical raja in India. One of the confidants decided to show the ruler how much he depends on his subjects, and came up with a game where the king (king, shah), although he is the main figure, means little without the support and protection of other figures. The game turned out to be surprisingly interesting, and the rajah, who did not notice the moralizing hint, offered the creator any reward.
And, as the chess legend says, the latter expressed a desire to receive an award with grain grains, but so that for the first field of the chessboard he was given one grain, for the second - two, for the third - four, then eight, sixteen, etc.
Since there are only sixty-four cells on the board, the rajah thought to do with one or two sacks, but in fact it turned out that in the whole world one could not find as many grains as needed to satisfy the wishes of the cunning inventor. Such is the legend about the wise game of chess and its creator.
Be that as it may, the history of chess begins in Asia, and India is indeed considered the birthplace of chess.

London, like in a fairy tale, has a real royal palace, and real queen, king, princes and princesses live in the palace. Let's take a look at the palace and walk through its halls. Meet Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.

Queen Elizabeth loves to ride horses since childhood.

The Queen travels in carriages around the city. The Queen's palace is guarded by guards in red uniforms and high black caps. The Queen's only daughter is Princess Anne. The Queen of England has three more sons: Prince Charles, Prince, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward.

There is also an old clock tower in London. She is over a hundred years old. But despite her venerable age, she remains one of the most beautiful in the world. She has a funny name: Big Ben. I will reveal to you little secret... In fact, this name "Big Ben" was the name for the largest bell of the five clock bells of this tower for a very long time.

The largest and loudest bell on this tower was called "Big Ben". And people are so accustomed to saying "Big Ben" when the clock strikes, that soon the tower itself began to be called only like that: "Big Ben". That is her name now.

Slide 1

This is the driest part of the world. V Southern hemisphere is the hottest part of the land. 2/3 of the territory is located in the desert and semi-desert climate zone. Since Australia lies entirely south of the equator, January is the hottest month and July the coldest. But even 10 degrees above zero for July is a rarity. The greatest amount of precipitation falls in the east. The interior regions are occupied by deserts and semi-deserts.

Slide 2

In the north, east, southeast and southwest, semi-deserts turn into savannas, which are replaced by forests of eucalyptus, palms, tree ferns along the coast and in the mountains. Most, of course, amazing animal world Australia. The most primitive marsupial mammals survived here, which became extinct in the rest of the world millions of years ago. These are famous kangaroos, irresistibly cute koalas, and platypuses with echidnas. Kangaroos and their closest relatives, wallabies, are not uncommon. But Australian sheep breeders do not like them, and wool for Australia is the main source of income from Agriculture... The islands of New Zealand, close to Australia, were a real bird kingdom before the arrival of Europeans. There were almost no mammals here. Now rare animals and birds are under protection.

Slide 3

Australia was discovered by Bill Jansson in 1606. The population of the country at that time was made up of Australian aborigines, who settled there more than 42 thousand years ago. In 1770, the country was declared a colony of the English Empire, and in 1901, all Australian colonies were united in the Australian Union, completely subordinate to the English queen.

Slide 4

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world in terms of territory, and it is the only state that occupies an entire continent. The Commonwealth of Australia includes the Australian mainland and several islands, the largest of which is Tasmania. On the mainland, diverse nature is adjacent to modern densely populated megalopolises. Although most of the continent is semi-desert and desert, Australia has a variety of landscapes, from alpine meadows to tropical jungles. Australia has become home to unique species of flora and fauna, some of which are not found in other parts of the world. Many plants and animals, including giant marsupials, became extinct with the advent of the aborigines; others (for example, the Tasmanian tiger) - with the advent of Europeans.

Slide 5

Australia's appeal lies not only in the nature of the mainland. Well-equipped cities, centers of cultural and business life of the state, also contribute here. In all metropolitan areas - be it Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne or any other Big City, - historical sights are adjacent to skyscrapers, cozy parks - with crowded streets, and various museums - with chic shops

PROGRESS OF ACTIVITIES:

(On the table in the group lies a bottle with a letter inside. Part of the letter is blurred with water.)
Educator: To us today in Kindergarten have brought an unusual letter. Usually what are the letters in?
Children: In envelopes.
Educator: Let's get it. (Gently pulls a letter out of the bottle.) Oh, part of the text is blurred with water. Let's read what is visible: “Hello, friends! A kangaroo is writing to you. I live on the largest and most beautiful island in distant A ... ”Here, part of the text is blurred. “I invite you to visit me to get acquainted with our plants and animals. Come on over. Your kangaroo. " A kangaroo invites us to visit. But it is not clear where he lives. Where can we find it? Is there a kangaroo in our country?
Children: No.
Educator: Where do you think he lives?
(Children make assumptions. If they find it difficult to answer, the teacher suggests considering the map "Fauna and flora of the earth".)
Educator: Yes, the kangaroo lives in Australia. Have any of you been to Australia? Would you like to visit and where is Australia located? Let's find it on the map on the map. Is it far from our country.
(Children show Australia on the map.)
Educator: Let's go now to the homeland of the kangaroo.
Before you go on a trip, you need to outline its route. First, we will find on the map the place where we are now - this is the point of departure. Show on the map our city (village, village or significant adjacent objects). Since our city is small, not every map depicts it. But on the map you can find the capital of our republic, Bashkortostan. Who remembers the name of the capital of our republic?
Children: Ufa.
Educator: Let's put a checkbox in this place. Let's put the second checkbox on Australia - this is the point of arrival. And with a marker we will lay a route from the point of departure to the point of arrival.
Educator: Let's think about how you can get to Australia? (Shows the children cards with pictures of different types of transport.) Maybe by car?
Children: There are a lot of us, everyone will not fit in the car.
Educator: The car doesn't suit us, so we need something big. Look between our Russia and Australia there is an ocean, so we need something big and that will help to cross the ocean. What kind of transport will help us: water, land, air?
Children: Ship, plane. (A ship and an airplane appear on the screen)
Educator: What transport will be the fastest to get to Australia?
Children: By plane.

Educator: Right. Let's all go to the airport together. (Children sit in their seats.) Imagine that we are on board an airplane and preparing for departure. Guys, who knows about the rules of conduct on the plane? (if at a loss, remind)
Fasten seat belts. During takeoff and climb, you must not get up and unfasten the seat belts. Let's fly!
Physical education "Flight to Australia"
Educator:
Monday or Wednesday (Rotate hands, depicting motors.)
I'm going to Australia! (They wave their hands.)
I will make friends with a kangaroo, (They put their hands in a lock.)
I'll play a game with him! (They clap their palms, alternately with each hand, on the knees.)
I strain my muscles with him, (Without unclenching my fists, I stretch my fingers.)
Parrots! (They clench and unclench their fists.)
On the hot paths ("Run" with their fingers on the table.)
We will run and gallop! (They stamp their feet.)
Educator: Look at the screen we flew to the destination. Australia is the world's largest island and the smallest continent. Its shores are washed by two oceans: the Indian and the Pacific. Let's land in a eucalyptus forest. Let's remember what we know about eucalyptus trees?
Children: Australia has large eucalyptus forests. They number up to 600 different types of eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus is called the "green giant": it huge size, its height is more than 100 m (approximately 25-storey building). Eucalyptus grows very quickly: in one year it grows by almost 5 m.This is an amazing tree, since leaves of various shapes grow on different branches: on young branches - round, and on older branches - hard, oblong, and they are always turned by an edge to the sun. Thanks to this, the tree can retain moisture for a long time. Eucalyptus is an evergreen plant (like our tree), but it changes its bark once a year. After a hot summer, the bark turns brown, moves away from the trunk wood and falls to the ground. After that, the trunk becomes smooth and gleams with various colors of the rainbow.
Educator: Australia has a very diverse flora. Australia is one of the driest places on earth, but many plants have adapted to it. There is a tree that accumulates moisture within itself. It's called the bottle tree. Why do you think it is called that?
(A picture of a bottle tree is displayed on the screen. The children speculate.)
Educator: The "bottle" tree was named for its trunk. It looks like a thick bottle: it reaches a height of 15 m, expands at the bottom to 1.5-2 m. The branches start very high, resembling roots. Let's pretend we are trees for a moment.
Physical education "We will become trees"
Children, following the teacher, pronounce the text and perform the appropriate movements.
Educator:
We will become trees - strong, large.
The legs are the roots, we put them wider. (They put their feet shoulder-width apart.)
To hold the tree
They didn't let me fall, (They put one fist on the other.)
Water was taken from the depths of the underground. (Bend over, palms cupped.)
Our body is a solid trunk, (They run the palms along the body from top to bottom.)
He sways a little. (Wiggle on toes from side to side.)
And with their top (They fold their palms like a hut.)
He rests against the sky (Raise his joined hands above his head.)
Our hands are branches - (Open their palms at the top, spreading their fingers to the sides.)
The crown is formed. (They close their fingers.)
Together they are not afraid (Shake their head.)
If the winds are blowing. (They swing their arms raised up.)

Educator: Guys, who invited us, did we come here by invitation? What animal is mentioned in the following poem: Australia is almost abandoned to the ends of the earth, Therefore, Australia was found not so long ago. And so as not to lose them for a century or for a day, All the inhabitants of Australia carry bags with them. Big or small, string bags or nets, After all, it is important that the little ones do not get lost. (A. Usachev) What animal carries a "bag" with it?
Children: Kangaroo!

Educator: That's right! And here he meets us. What do you know about kangaroos? What does he look like, how does he move? How does he care for the cubs? What does it eat?
(Children talk about what they know about the kangaroo. The teacher summarizes their answers.)
Educator: Kangaroo rides on its hind legs, which are larger and stronger than the front legs. If the kangaroo is in no hurry, then it moves on four legs. Its tail is long, thick at the base. During the jump, the kangaroo maintains balance with its help, and in a calm state leans on it. He gives birth to one or two cubs, which spend 6-8 months in their mother's pouch. The kangaroo feeds on grass.
Educator: Guys, look someone ran over there. Did you see? (Picture) Who do you think this is?
Children: Dog.
Educator: This is the wild dog Dingo. It is illegal to keep dingoes as pets in Australia. They do not know how to bark, but they can growl and howl. These are predatory animals: they feed on lizards, birds, rabbits, and attack kangaroos. They love sheep, which is why Australian farmers are fighting them.
Educator: Let's have a short break, and at the same time play a game:
Guessing riddles about Australia's animals and discussing what they know about them.
Educator: Well, guys, our journey is coming to an end and it's time for us to return to Russia, to our kindergarten. They approach the plane and see a chest there. Look at what an interesting chest. Guys, someone left us a little present. Let's see what's inside.
See what it is? (Shows the boomerang.) What do you think it is used for?
(Children answer. The teacher summarizes their answers and talks about the boomerang.)
Educator: Boomerang is a curved plate, one of the varieties of a throwing baton, a hunting weapon. It was invented by the Australian aborigines (the first inhabitants of the mainland) for hunting. When thrown, the boomerang returns back to the hunter. Some scholars believe it was originally used to corral seabird nets. The boomerang is usually banana-shaped, but can be star and H-shaped. Do you know how it works? (Show a clip from the cartoon). Let's take a boomerang with us to the kindergarten and play as we walk.
And then there are these contour maps... Take these outline maps home. Tell your parents about where we have been and paint over the map of Australia with your parents (one color of your choice). Then stick the appropriate "tags" (for example, pictures of animals or plants). Ask your parents to help you.
Educator: Get on the plane and take your seats. Don't forget to buckle up. Did you enjoy our trip? What did you like the most? What new things have you learned? Where else would you like to travel?
(Children answer.)
Educator: So we flew to our kindergarten.
