Presentation on the topic: Poultry

Theme "Poultry": materials for games and activities with children 3-4 years old. Pictures of poultry for children, educational tasks for children, speech exercises. Presentation on the topic “Poultry”.

Topic “Poultry”: speech development of children 3-4 years old

Poultry: task 1. Getting to know poultry

Looking at pictures

We learn to look at pictures, compare, and draw conclusions. Let's find out what kinds of poultry there are and how they talk. We develop word creativity and a “sense of language.”

Look at the picture. What birds do you see on it? Where do they live? Why do you think these birds are called domestic birds?

The birds came out into the yard with their babies - chicks. Let's name them. The duck has ... (ducklings), the goose has ... (goslings), the turkey has ... (turkey poults), and the hen has ... (chickens).

Learning to compare domestic birds. Ducklings and chicks

Ducklings and chicks are very similar to each other. How are they similar? (They are yellow, fluffy, they have a head, beak, eyes, wings, legs, body, tail...). What is the difference? (Chickens have a sharp beak, but ducklings have a blunt beak, similar to a spatula. Ducklings have membraned feet for swimming, but chickens do not...)

What do poultry say? Word formation

The ducklings say: “Quack-quack-quack” - what are they doing? They're quackin'! The chicken says: “Where-dah-dah!” - she... (cackles). The cockerel screams: “Crow!” - he... (crows). How do geese cackle? (ha-ha-ha). The chickens say: “Peep-pee-pee” - what are they doing? (They squeak). Who else is squeaking? (Mouse)

Look from cartoon based on the fairy tale by V. Suteev “Chicken and Duckling”. Discuss with your child again how they are similar and how they differ? How do they dig a hole and look for worms in different ways? Why couldn't the chicken swim like a duckling?

Draw the chicken and duckling with yellow gouache. How to draw so that it is clear where in the drawing we have a duckling and where is the chicken? Let the child explain it to you, and you will draw under his dictation. Ask: “How should I draw the body of a chicken – is it round or oval? What about the duckling? What kind of head does a chicken have? Round. What about the duckling? Oval." Remember that these domestic birds have different beaks and different legs. Thanks to the membranes on its paws, the duckling swims well, but the chicken cannot swim, but can, working with its paws, get worms out of the ground.

Poultry: task 2. Ruffed chicken

Developing dialogical speech

Look at the picture - does this happen or not? Why? Yes, this is a picture - fable. Listen to the story.

Little hen, where did you go?
-To the river.
-Rabushka hen, why did you go?
-Get some water.
-Rock hen, why do you need some water?
-Water the chickens.
-Rock hen, how do the chicks ask for a drink?
-Pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi!

What is true in this fable and what is made up?

Act it out dialogue - fable role-play with your child (take a toy chicken, a picture or a finger toy - a chicken). You will ask, and the child will answer for the chicken. Then switch roles.

You will learn how to very quickly and easily make such finger toys for dramatizations and dialogues.

In the next game, come up with your own fable about a chicken. You will ask, and the child will answer on behalf of the chicken. Discuss with your child where else the chicken could have gone and why? For example: “Chicken hazel grouse, where did you go? To the market. Little hen, why did you go? For the grains. Little hen, why do you need grains? Feed the chickens and so on.”

It is with such simple tasks that the development of children’s verbal creativity begins. Be sure to write down your child’s fable in a homemade book. Draw a picture for your child's first essay. This will show him how important his achievements are to you and will arouse interest in verbal creativity. You can read how to make a homemade book in the articles:

Task 3. Cockerel with his family

We learn to speak expressively, figuratively, vividly. Let's get acquainted with the genres of short stories and fairy tales. Learning to retell.

Listen to the story “Cockerel with his family” (K.D. Ushinsky).

“A cockerel is walking around the yard: there is a red comb on his head, and a red beard under his nose. Petya's nose is a chisel, Petya's tail is a wheel; there are patterns on the tail, spurs on the legs. Petya rakes the pile with his paws and calls the hens and chicks together: “Crested hens! Busy hostesses! Motley-pockmarked! Little black and white! Gather together with the chickens, with the little kids: I’ve saved you some grain!” The hens and chicks gathered and cackled; They didn’t share the grain, they got into a fight. Petya the Cockerel does not like unrest - now he has reconciled his family: one for the crest, that for the cowlick. He ate the grain himself, flew up onto the fence, flapped his wings, and shouted at the top of his lungs: “Ku-ka-re-ku!”

Did you like the cockerel from the story? Why did you like him? Let's praise him together: there is a red one on his head..., a red one under his nose..., a cockerel's nose... (with a chisel), Petya's tail..., on his tail..., on his legs... (Help the baby remember the expressions from the story).

How did the rooster call the hens? Let's call them like a cockerel. Read the words of the cockerel from the story in italics again to remind your child of them. It’s good if you have toys or pictures of a cockerel and hens, and you “call” several hens, i.e. Retell this excerpt from the story several times with your child. For the first time, prompt the beginning of all phrases (“Chickens..., busybodies..., Mottled ones...”), and the baby will only finish them. And then the baby himself will remember how the cockerel called the hens, and you will suggest individual words. Call 2-3 hens, praise both the baby, the cockerel, and the hens.

Tell the baby what is the difference between a story and a fairy tale. The story tells what really happened. And in fairy tales and fables - about what does not happen. What tales about the cockerel do you know? (“The Cat and the Rooster”, “Zayushkina’s Hut”, “The Cockerel and the Bean Corn”, “The Spikelet”, etc.) What happened to the cockerel in these fairy tales?

Helpful Tips:

1. When reading fairy tales and stories to your baby, draw his attention to bright figurative words and phrases, admire them with your baby(“How beautifully the storyteller said about the river! It is seething, talkative!”). Involve your child in repeating the characters' songs and simple dialogues. By doing this, you lay the foundation for the development of expressive speech and enrich your baby’s vocabulary. Repeated repetition of songs, fables, and nursery rhymes develops a child’s sense of rhyme and rhythm.

2. Don't worry if your child wants to listen to the same fairy tale many times, although he knows it almost by heart. He really needs this for development. And it is very important for him that he knows in advance what will happen next! In the future, he himself will switch to other fairy tales.

Poultry: video for children

Video for kids on the topic “Poultry”

What types of poultry are there: video riddle for children

And this is a mystery for children - what kind of poultry are walking around the yard? What are their names?

It is very important that the child not only recognizes poultry in pictures, but also sees them in life: observes in the village how they move, how they eat and drink water, and how they swim. In this short video you will see video clips about poultry - ask your child to guess what kind of poultry it is. If the child makes a mistake, press pause and carefully look at the frame again. Compare with the picture.

Modern children often make mistakes, because... They don’t see domestic birds in real life, but only in pictures. The video will help to at least slightly open up the interesting world of poultry for them.

Let `s have some rest! Finger gymnastics “Poultry” for children 3-4 years old

Our ducks in the morning - quack-quack-quack, quack-quack-quack.
Our geese by the pond - ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha.
And the turkey in the middle of the yard - ball-ball-ball, bally-ball!

When depicting ducks and a goose, we make the following movements: we hold our index and middle fingers together. With these two fingers and thumb we depict the opening and closing beak of a duck and goose in rhythm with the words of the nursery rhyme (as if the duck is saying: quack, quack, opening and closing its beak). You need to make sure that your index and middle fingers are close to each other at all times and do not scatter to the sides!

Depicting a turkey, we straighten all our fingers up like rays of the sun, stretching them out as much as possible. This is a turkey tail. It must be very big and very beautiful.

Domestic duck Ducks are birds of medium and small size with a relatively short neck and a tarsus covered in front with transverse scutes. The color of the plumage is varied; many species have a special “mirror” on the wing. A number of species are characterized by pronounced sexual dimorphism during the breeding season, most often manifested in different colors of the plumage of the male and female. Most species moult twice a year; summer - full, autumn - partial.

Duck family Duck Drake Duckling

Domestic goose Geese are distinguished by a beak that is higher at the base than it is wide, and ends in a nail with a sharp edge. There are small teeth along the edges of the beak. Geese are distinguished by a medium-length neck (longer than that of ducks, but shorter than that of swans), rather high legs attached closer to the middle of the body than in ducks, and a hard tubercle, or spur, on the bend of the wing. Feathers and down are highly developed. Males are practically no different from females, the only difference being the bone growth “hump” at the beginning of the beak at the bridge of the male’s nose, as well as a slightly larger body size. Many geese cackle or make muttering sounds and hiss when in danger or in irritation.

Domestic chicken Domestic chicken is the most numerous and widespread type of poultry. Over the long history of human domestication, a large number of different breeds of chickens have been developed. Chickens are among the most useful and productive poultry. They are bred for meat and eggs, and they also produce feathers and down.

“Our Little Friends” is a lesson to familiarize yourself with the world around you. The goal is to promote the formation of an interested, caring attitude towards pets. Tasks: form...

1. There is a red jagged comb on the head. 2. “Red earrings” hang under the beak. 3. Strong legs with blunt claws. 4. The wings are short 5. Males (roosters) have long sickle-shaped feathers on the tail, and long spurs grow on the legs above the hind toes (protection from enemies)






















Ducks are resistant to low temperatures, however, in the first periods of life, ducklings need additional heating in cool weather. Ducks tolerate high air temperatures worse - in the heat their general condition worsens, their appetite decreases, growth and egg production deteriorate. This is due to the fact that ducks do not have sweat glands.


After laying eggs, the duck strives to incubate them.


















The overall fertility of geese is significantly lower than that of chickens and even ducks. On average, they lay only eggs per year, in addition, the fertilization rate of eggs can be 80% or even 50%. This means that of all the eggs laid, only half of the chicks will hatch.


The future mother can only be a good hen who almost never leaves the nest. Incubation lasts for days. During this period, the hen needs to be provided with good nutrition with protein feeding and rest; the gander should not be allowed near the nest during incubation.


Geese are the fastest growing poultry. Already at hatching, the goslings weigh 1 g, by a month they reach 2 kg, and by the next few days they increase their weight by 40 times!










It happens that turkeys lay eggs twice a year: in the spring they are able to lay 15–20 eggs, which they try to hide by any means, so they need to be inspected every morning. The first egg laid by a turkey is called a nest egg; it is marked with ink and left in the nest so that the turkey is more willing to lay subsequent eggs next to it. One-month-old turkey poults are given grass feed with sour milk, gradually adding whey or clean water. At the same time, the feed is mixed, like kneading bread dough. When the heads of turkey poults begin to turn red, they need to be given cereals or flowers of horse sorrel with seeds, which makes up a third of the total feed.

Domestic chicken


Chicken, or domestic chicken (lat. Gallus gallus , Sometimes - Gallus gallus domesticus or Gallus domesticus ; male - rooster , chicks - chickens), - the most numerous and widespread species poultry. It flies poorly, not far away. Over a long history domestication man has developed a large number of different chicken breeds. Chickens are among the most useful and productive poultry. They are bred for the sake of meat And eggs, in addition, they receive from them feather And fluff .


Wild ancestors

It is believed that domestic chickens evolved from wild ones banking chickens (Gallus gallus), living in Asia. In addition to the banker, or red, jungle fowl in genus comb chickens (Gallus ) includes three more kind : gray junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii), ceylon jungle fowl (Gallus lafayettei ) And green junglefowl (Gallus varius ). Wild representatives of the genus inhabit the territory India , Indochina , South China , Indonesia And Philippines .


Time and centers of domestication

Early evidence on which he relied in his writings and Charles Darwin, pointed to the domestication of chicken in the Indian region around 2000 BC. e. Later researchers argued that this could have happened around 3200 BC. e. and even earlier in another region Asia. Currently, a lot of facts have been accumulated indicating an older history of the domestication of chickens - 6000-8000 BC. e. - V South-East Asia and China. Research mitochondrial DNA showed that the ancestors of modern chickens were domesticated around 3500 BC. e. in the Asian region. In addition, analysis of mitochondrial DNA showed the presence of three related haplogroups among domesticated birds: haplogroup E(the vast majority of domestic chickens distributed in the world), haplogroup D(common in the Pacific Ocean) and haplogroup IN(in Southeast Asia).


There are many in the world breeds chickens of various types, coloring, breeding characteristics and direction of use. In various breeds eggs have different colors, for example: white, brown, green, blue, red. Currently, the European poultry standard includes about 180 chicken breeds. However, in general there are many more of them on Earth.

From an economic point of view and according to the nature of the main products, breeds can be divided into three main groups:

  • for chickens that differ egg production (egg breeds),
  • on public (meat and egg breeds) And
  • on predominantly meat chickens ( meat breeds, including broiler chickens).

Breeds of these directions have constitutional and exterior features. Egg hens are small in size, grow quickly, and mature early. Chickens of meat and egg breeds are larger, with well-developed muscles, and less precocious. In addition, previously distinguished breeds were remarkable for their endurance, ability to incubation and with great height and weight

Long-known egg breeds include:

  • Spanish
  • Italian, or leghorn .
  • Hamburg .
  • Red Cap
  • Andalusian .
  • Minorca .

Appearance

  • Chickens weigh from 1.5 to 5 kg depending on the breed. Moreover, roosters are usually heavier than females: the difference in weight can be up to 1 kg. In addition, there are dwarf breeds - from 500 g to 1.2 kg.
  • In chickens it is pronounced sexual dimorphism. Males differ from females primarily in their bright colors. plumage, which especially stands out on the long, curvy tail and neck. The roosters have the lower part metatarsus bone spurs are formed. Both the hen and the rooster have a clearly visible beard on their head and crest. They are authorities thermoregulation and allow you to redirect blood flow To skin. In most cases, the comb of a rooster is larger than that of a hen. There are combs: leaf-shaped (with several teeth), rose-shaped, pod-shaped and other shapes. Chickens have a less pronounced flesh-colored comb and beard. The beak is slightly curved. The color of the beak and metatarsus is the same in most breeds: yellow, white-pink, black, etc. The color of the plumage is varied.



















































Reproduction

In the past, when keeping heavy breed chickens (brama, cochinquin) per rooster, 15 to 20 hens were considered sufficient, for hens of lighter breeds and lively temperament - from 30 to 50, and sometimes up to 100. The best age for mating was considered to be 1 year. Laying eggs started in January; from March, with the onset of warm days, it intensified and became more regular; reached its highest intensity in April, May and June; ended with the onset molts. After laying from 20 to 50 eggs, the chickens began incubation. IN nest They laid from 10 to 15 eggs, depending on the size of the hen. Incubation lasted three weeks. When breeding chickens of non-brooding breeds, as well as on large farms where many chickens were bred, hens were successfully replaced incubators .




  • The chicken, while in the egg, begins vocal communication with the hen a few days before hatching, using about a dozen signals, for example:
  • The “let me go” signal is a sharp sound, reminiscent of the squeak of a newly hatched chicken when picked up.
  • The pleasure signal is a high-pitched chirping sound with which the chick from the egg reacts to the soothing clucking of the hen or to her signal in connection with the appearance of food.
  • The nesting signal is a searching and alarming sound emitted from an egg, expressing the chick’s desire to nest under the mother’s wing. The chicken reacts to it by clucking or moving, which calms it down.
  • The alarm signal is a high-pitched squeak, the egg's response to the hen's alarming warning signal about the appearance of enemies.




Nutrition and feeding

According to the chicken device stomach, the feed consumed by chickens should be small in volume and intensity. Chickens omnivorous: they feed on small things seeds , herbs And leaves ,

worms , insects and even small ones vertebrates .


In households, different types of chickens serve as the main food cereals, of which oats , barley , buckwheat And millet most commonly used. They can be fed to chickens for a whole year without harm to their health and productivity. Chickens often dig the ground in search of large insects , larvae and seeds. Addition to grain feed in small quantities greenery And animal food (in the past, for example, horse meat, dried May beetles), when birds do not walk and cannot look for worms and peck grass on their own, is useful: it increases egg production.


Economic importance

Chickens are the most common poultry in the world, with a population of 24 billion in 2003. Chicken farming plays a significant role not only in the field poultry farming, but also in general Agriculture, delivering nutritious and inexpensive food products (meat and eggs), as well as down, feathers and valuables fertilizer(litter). Large poultry farms and specialized poultry farms have been created to produce eggs and chicken meat on an industrial basis.
