organized children's activities
1. Conversation about winter based on questions.
– What colors does winter use?
– What do you think winter smells like?
– When does it come?
– What signs of winter do you know?
– Now guess the riddles and name the winter months.
Name it guys
A month into this mystery.
His days are the shortest of all days,
All nights, shorter than nights.
To the fields and meadows
It snowed until spring.
Only our month will pass -
We are meeting New Year.
– In the kingdom of the beautiful Zimushka, two winter months - January and February - quarreled. They argue about which of them is more important and necessary. Let's make peace between them. Let us show that every winter month is very important. So, let's go to the kingdom of Winter Beauty.
2. Characteristics of the winter months: January and February. Observation of nature.
– In Rus', December was called jelly. December paves, December nails, December nails.
It stings the ears, stings the nose. Not even a bird can fly:
Frost creeps into felt boots The bird is freezing from the frost.
If you splash water, it will fall, The sun has turned towards summer.
Not water anymore, but ice. What month is this, tell me?
– January was called the cut, as it cuts the winter into two halves.
Snow is falling in bags from the sky, The frost is severe at night,
There are snowdrifts around the house. During the day, drops can be heard ringing.
Then there are snowstorms and blizzards. The day has increased noticeably,
They attacked the village. So what month is this?
– February was called “fierce” because a lot of snow falls, there are severe frosts, and there are often snowstorms.
– What signs of winter did you learn about from riddles about the months?
– But sometimes there are thaws in winter. How do you understand the word “thaw”?
– Yes, sometimes the sun will warm up, the wind will blow from the south and bring a thaw. The snow will melt, become wet, and become easy to form. Icicles will appear on the roofs.
– And after the thaw, frost will strike and a hard crust will form on the snow - “crust”; there will be icy conditions on the roads.
– A fluffy snow fringe - frost - forms on trees and wires. At the same time, everything around becomes amazingly beautiful, the trees are especially beautiful.
– So what did winter bring us as a gift?(Snowflakes.)
– What are snowflakes? What are they like?
– The calmer the frosty weather, the more beautiful the snowflakes falling on the ground. At strong wind their rays and edges break off, stars and flowers turn into snow dust. When the frost is not severe, snowflakes roll into dense white balls, and we say that grain is falling from the sky. Snowflakes, falling to the ground on warm days, stick to each other and form large flakes.
– Some calendars indicate the following names: Pre-Winter, Glukhozim, Pre-Spring.
– And so we came to the clearing" Folk wisdom" Many people have made up proverbs and sayings about winter, but which ones do you know?(Children's answers.) Listen to proverbs and sayings, explain their meaning.
A winter day with a mosquito sock.
A good snowfall will save the harvest.
In the winter cold everyone is young.
When the snow blows, the bread will arrive.
Not the snow that sweeps, but that which comes from above.
The frost is great, but it doesn’t tell you to stand.
And in severe frost work will warm you up.
Frost grabs the lazy one by the nose, and takes off his hat in front of the agile one.
New Year - a turn towards spring.
Take care of your nose in the extreme cold.
3. Listening to music. “Song of the Lark” (music by P. I. Tchaikovsky).
4. Drawing an image of a tree “Beautiful spreading tree in winter.”
– Tell us about your impressions received during observations on walks.
– Look at the illustrations of trees in winter. Are all the branches of the tree visible?(No. Many branches are covered with snow and frost.)
– What happened to the tree branches in winter?(The branches bent towards the ground from the weight of the snow. The tree became spreading.)
– Let's draw a spreading tree in winter. What colored pencils do we need?(A blue pencil is needed to draw snow. A brown pencil is needed to draw the trunk and branches of a tree.)
– Are all the tree branches the same color? Which branches appear lighter?(Those branches that are covered with snow.)
– How to convey this in a drawing?(You don’t need to press hard on the pencil to do this.)
5. Reflection.
– Look at the drawings in our exhibition and choose the most expressive works. Explain your choice.

Introduction to the game situation Today we will go to the forest. What grows in the forest? (Now close your eyes, turn around yourself, saying the words: 1,2,3,4,5 - you will find yourself in the forest.
Here we are in the forest. Guys, what trees do you see? What kind of trunk do they have, what kind of branches do they have?
(View slides about trees).
Discovery of new knowledge- Guys, now let’s draw a spreading tree. Remember what the trees look like, the same or not? I suggest drawing beautiful, spreading trees that you remember and liked. By pressing the pencil differently, you can draw thin and thick branches.
Watch how I will draw a tree. First, let's draw a tree trunk. We draw the trunk from the top of the head, lightly pressing the pencil, because the top is thin; and downwards the trunk thickens; going down, we gradually press on the pencil. Next we will draw the branches. Large branches extend from the tree trunk, they all look up. And from large branches there are many small branches. We will draw them with light pressure from a pencil; the more small branches there are, the more spreading and beautiful the tree will be.
Children begin to work, under the guidance of a teacher.
Finger gymnastics:“1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – let’s count our fingers...”
Reflection. Bottom line. Look what a forest we are in, where there are many spreading trees. Look at the different thin and thick trunks, branches, and spreading crown. How much pressure did you use to draw the barrel? Branches? What is the largest tree? You did your best today. It's time for us to go back to kindergarten. Close your eyes, turn around yourself, saying the words: “1,2,3,4,5 - return to kindergarten.”

1. Organizational moment.
Children listen carefully to the teacher - Guys, in the previous lesson, we told you that it is winter now. Many poems have been written about her, let’s listen to O. Vysotskaya’s poem “The Christmas Tree”.
Not a leaf, not a blade of grass!
Our garden became quiet.
And birches and aspens
Boring ones stand
Only one Christmas tree
Cheerful and green.
Apparently she's not afraid of the cold,
Apparently she is brave!
- Guys, why do you think we say, “Our garden has become quiet”?
- Why “...the birch and aspen trees stand boring...”?
- Why “...the Christmas tree is only cheerful...”?

- Guys, I’ll tell you a riddle, and you listen carefully and tell me the answer:
It's fun in the spring, cool in the summer,
It nourishes in the fall and warms in the winter. (tree)
- Remember what trees we saw on our walk, what branches did they have?
- Look at the photographs of winter trees. Beautiful?
- Today we will draw a beautiful spreading tree in winter.
- What do all trees have in common? Of course, the trunk and branches.
The trunk is the thickest part of the tree. The branches are located along the trunk and directed upward. The thickest part of the trunk is near the ground, and the thinnest is at the top. The shortest branches are located closer to the top, and the longest ones are located closer to the base of the trunk.
The basis of a tree is its trunk. Therefore, drawing a tree needs to start from the trunk.
Next we depict the large, main branches. They are drawn in the same way as a trunk: thin at the top, and thicker closer to the trunk. And the thin end is directed upwards. At the same time, we remember that the branches on the trunk are at different distances.
The third stage is drawing small branches, that is, the crown of the tree. Then we draw small branches that extend from the large ones. There are a lot of them. Small branches are drawn with the same thickness - they are thin, but they also stretch upward - towards the sun.
- And the branches of a birch tree need to be drawn a little differently. Birch branches are very thin and are not located upwards; they bend, hang down and are divided into even thinner branches. When the wind blows, they sway first one way or the other.
- But before we start drawing, we’ll take a little rest.
We came to the winter forest
There are so many miracles around here!
On the right is a birch tree in a fur coat
On the left the tree is looking at us
Snowflakes are spinning in the sky,
They lie beautifully on the ground.

Children answer questions and show their favorite work. - What wonderful trees you have made! Do you like them?
Which drawing does Lera like? Ksyusha? Why? The exhibition “Winter Forest” is made from drawings
Topic: “My favorite tree in different time of the year".
Program content:
Improve children's ability to draw a tree. To consolidate knowledge about seasonal changes in living and inanimate nature; learn to depict these changes in the drawing most expressively. Pin unconventional method painting with a hard “poke” brush. Develop a sense of composition.
Vocabulary work:
Spreading, poking, crown
Material:
Tinted blue sheets of paper, watercolor paints, gouache, 2 thin and bristle brushes, glasses of water, napkins, 1/4 sample paper. All children.
Preliminary work:
Observing trees on the street, looking at pictures of trees at different times of the year.
Progress of the lesson:
I'll tell you a riddle.
“Spring is fun,
It's cold in the summer,
Nourishes in autumn
It warms you up in winter." (Tree)
How did you guess that this was a tree? (and because it cheers, nourishes, and warms).
Explain how a tree makes you happy in spring? (green leaves appear)
How does a tree cool in summer? (under a tree in the heat it’s cool, shade)
How does a tree feed in autumn? (fruits ripen on the trees: apples, pears)
How do you understand that a tree warms in winter? (stoves are heated with logs)
Who knows where we will start drawing a tree? (from the trunk)
(on the teacher’s easel there is a blank album sheet)
Who will show and tell you how to draw a trunk?
(showing a child with an explanation: we start drawing from the top of the head, with the tip of the brush, because the top is thin; and downwards the trunk thickens, going down, we gradually press the brush, and at the very bottom we press the brush as hard as we can)
Are the branches all the same? (no, there are big and small)
Who will show you how to draw large branches?
(child's demonstration with explanation: Large branches extend from the trunk, we draw without pressing the brush too hard, we will draw 4 or 5 of them in total, they all look up)
You already know how to draw small branches.
(there are a lot of them, they extend from large branches, we draw only with the tip of the brush without pressing at all; the more small branches there are, the more spreading and beautiful the tree will be)
(showing the finished tree)
Guys, today we will draw not just a simple tree, but our favorite tree at different times of the year.
Let us remember how trees look at different times of the year.
How will you draw a tree in winter? (the tree is bare, there is snow on the branches, there is also snow on the ground, a snowball is falling quietly)
How can you draw a tree in spring? (small leaves begin to appear, there are still few of them, there are white clouds in the sky, the sun is shining, there are puddles on the ground, maybe dirt, green grass begins to appear)
What kind of tree is there in summer? (all green, the sun is shining, the grass is also green, flowers are growing)
How is a tree different in the fall? (leaves are yellow, orange; the grass is dry, there are clouds in the sky, there is leaf fall)
You have 2 brushes on your tables. Thin brushes - (show me everything we will paint with a thin brush? (tree)
With a hard brush (show me all the hard brushes) we will paint the season; paint with a dry brush, hold the brush vertically, make the pokes quickly (show the pokes on the table). We paint with gouache with a hard brush, take a little gouache, do the first few pokes on the draft, the excess paint will be removed there; Once you see that the pokes are normal, you can start decorating your tree.
(teacher demonstration)

Before you draw a tree for your child step by step, you need to carefully study these natural objects and find similarities between them.
What does any, well, almost any tree have? The answer suggests itself - a straight and powerful trunk. As a rule, from below it is quite thick and voluminous, but the closer to the top of the tree, the thinner it becomes. It is from the trunk that branches go in all directions, while the main ones rush upward.
Closer to the base, the branches are long, and towards the top, on the contrary, they are short. From large skeletal branches smaller branches grow in different directions, from them even smaller ones, etc. The crown of almost all trees directly depends and is formed from such branches. Considering all these facts, you can easily draw the “skeleton” of a tree.
Important: you can depict trees in winter in a similar way - just branches, without foliage. 
Interested? Then let's look in more detail at how to draw a tree with a pencil step by step for children. Believe me, it will be very educational and also interesting.
How to draw a tree: general diagram
First of all, let’s decorate the “skeleton” of the tree with leaves. You can create them simple dots, making a leafy crown from individual points (Figure A). As for coloring, for a summer tree it is better to use several shades of yellow or green; the autumn version can be done using red, yellow, orange or green paints.
In addition, most children can easily depict a certain plane with an irregular, oval-like shape (Figure B). This method is ideal for teaching drawing to kids. It will also be useful in in this case drawing trees in a landscape. First draw one trunk and skeletal thick branches. Now paint over the green part of the tree and add small branches. 
Foliage image options
As mentioned above, we draw a tree “in principle,” that is, an image familiar to most of us. Naturally, in nature different kinds trees differ significantly from each other. In our drawing there will also be a difference in the trunks: a powerful and thick giant oak, pine or rowan, a weeping slender birch with drooping branches. What exactly to depict is up to you.
Simple tree: drawing lesson for children from 4 years old
It's actually very easy, but interesting way draw a tree. Of course, it is impossible to determine its type. Yes, this is not required here. The main thing is that we know for sure that the tree is deciduous.
1. Together with your child, draw a trunk and several voluminous, large branches. The foliage must be made in the shape of an oval.
2. Color your drawing with colored pencils, markers or paints. Everything depends only on your imagination. 
At first glance, it seems that such a drawing is very simple and ordinary, however, it provides rich soil for creativity and allows you to embody the most original ideas. Take a close look at the picture below and see for yourself what variety of trees you can draw using this technique. 
Oak - step-by-step execution with children from 6 years old
This oak is somewhat reminiscent of an ordinary tree, which we have already considered. However, there are much more individual details: complex branches, bark texture and hollow. Don't worry if your child makes the lesson easier or misses something. The main goal is for the tree to be powerful and stocky. 
We draw a birch tree with children from 8 years old step by step
For many children, drawing a tree like this is difficult task. Why? Here everything is as close as possible to a realistic image, there are complex lines and details. Therefore, you should not draw a birch for preschoolers, as well as for those who study primary school. Most likely they will try to simplify the drawing. 
Draw your child's attention to the birch branches - they are leaning down!
Pine: step-by-step implementation with children from 8 years old
Now let's leave deciduous trees and move on to conifers. Tell your children, if they don't already know, that the pine tree is an evergreen tree. Therefore, it makes no difference what time of year you paint it: summer or winter - the crown is always the same. To draw pine trees, the same principle is used as for deciduous trees. The only difference is that the green needle spots must be clearly connected to the branches. In addition, unlike deciduous trees, this tree has a more voluminous “bare” part of the trunk. 
Christmas tree - a simple drawing diagram for children from 4 years old
You can draw another, no less popular and well-known coniferous tree, a Christmas tree, in several ways. But we will consider only one - coniferous and very realistic tree for older children. You can see the drawing in the picture below. 
And now an unusual option - we draw a palm tree with children from 7 years old
So, earlier we learned how to draw trees that grow in our country. Now it's time for more exotic plants. For example, it is very interesting to draw a palm tree - a decorative, simple, but at the same time, original tree. Translated from Latin, palm means “palm” - “palma”. Apparently this is due to the palm leaves spread out like “fingers”.
We will present two main options for drawing this tree: the first is more realistic image, the second - one might say “cartoonish”. The difficulty of completing both drawings is approximately the same. Children from 7 to 8 years old can easily cope with this task, of course, not without the help of their parents.
Option No. 1 - a diagram of drawing a palm tree with children from 7 years old in several steps. 
Option No. 2 
OK it's all over Now. Now you have personally seen that drawing a tree is easy. And it doesn’t matter what exactly you want to depict: oak, birch, palm tree, etc. The main thing is to believe in your own strength and, of course, show a little imagination. Below we provide additional materials.
