Message about the holiday. Teacher:
Today, November 30, is an international holiday dedicated to all domestic animals. Since time immemorial, animals have lived next to humans in a large, beautiful house whose name is Earth. International Pet Day is celebrated in different countries around the world in their own way. Some people on this day allow their pets to do all the previously prohibited things: tear wallpaper, chew furniture, ride on curtains, and even eat from the table. Some go to a beauty salon with their pet, some buy their pet a huge amount of goodies, and some simply pay maximum attention to their feathered, waterfowl or four-legged friend. In many zoos around the world, on this day, children ring bells for a minute, thereby attracting attention to the problems of animals. The “Bell” campaign is gradually becoming traditional in Russian cities.
International Pet Day once again reminds humanity that it is responsible for those it has tamed. Presenter 1: Hello guys! We are pleased to welcome you to a cool hour of love and kindness - “Our Pets”! Pick up photos and portraits of your little brothers. That's how many friends the kids in the class have. Presenter 2: Everyone knows that life without animals is boring and joyless. Animals make our lives more joyful, and how much kindness and affection animals bring us! Riddles about pets. Presenter 1: Let's guess the riddles that are hidden under the toys. What animals are they dedicated to? (to the family) (There are animal toys on the table, children choose an animal and guess the riddle) Savka has a piglet, two pancakes and a pretzel. He wears shoes without laces, and a suit made of bristles. (pig)
The thick grasses are braided, the meadows are curled, and I myself am all curly, even with a curl of an horn. (ram) With a beard, not an old man, With horns, not a bull, They milk, not a cow, It pulls its bast, But it doesn’t weave bast shoes. (goat) A champion in fast running, I sometimes drive carts. Uncle groom brought me water, hay and oats. (Horse)
Look, guys, this is a relative of the horse! He, sister, brother, mother, grandfather and father are all stubborn! (Donkey) She is motley, Eats green, Gives white. (Cow) I am an ordinary hen, Duck is my neighbor. It’s a pity, it’s not easy for me to take off, Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! (Chicken) He is proud of his position And the bird alarm clock screams Early, at six in the morning: “Hey, shepherd, it’s time to get up! Bring the herd out, ka-ka-re-ku, to the lush meadow!” (Rooster) A faithful friend to man, I sensitively hear every sound. I have an excellent sense of smell, a keen eye and keen hearing. (Dog) I arrange myself cleverly: I have a pantry with me. Where's the storage room? Behind the cheek! I'm so cunning! (hamster)
And they don’t swim in the sea, And they don’t have bristles, But still they are called sea... (guinea pigs) Who sings with their mouth closed? He opens his mouth and doesn’t sing. Walks with silent steps, is not afraid of the dark. And although he is wearing a lush fur coat, he loves to warm himself by the stove. (Cat) “Night predators” in our house. Presenter 2: Meet those guests who will tell you “Why they called the cat a cat.” (The poem “Why was the cat called a cat” is acted out by sixth-graders in disguise) An old man and an old woman had a black-eared kitten, a black-eared one and a white-cheeked one, a white-bellied one and a black-sided one. The old man and the old woman began to think: “Our black-eared one is growing up.” We fed him and gave him water. We just forgot to give him a name. Let's call the black-eared “Cloud” - Let him be big and powerful. Taller than a tree, Bigger than a house. Let him purr louder than thunder! “No,” the old woman said, after thinking, “A cloud is lighter than goose down.” The wind drives huge clouds and collects them in gray heaps. The wind whistles long and loudly. Should we call the Kitten “Wind”? “No, old woman,” the old man replies, “The wind only shakes the trees, but the wall remains alone.” Should we name the kitten “The Wall”? The old woman answers the old man: “You lost your hearing in old age!” Listen with me: Do you hear the mouse rustling behind the wall? A thief mouse is sharpening a tree... Should we call the cat “Mouse”? “No, old woman,” the old man answers, “the cat eats the mouse with its skin.” So the cat is a little stronger! Should we call the cat a cat?.. Presenter 1: Who has a cat? Tell us about your favorite. (stories from second graders)
Presenter 2: A cat is a wayward animal, full of secrets that have not yet been solved. People have never been indifferent to cats: they painted them, sculpted them, embroidered them, photographed them, erected monuments, wrote poems and stories. Cats settled with humans 4 thousand years ago. The ancestor of the modern cat is considered to be the Libyan or Nubian cat. There are now more than a hundred cat breeds in the world. In ancient Egypt, cats were deified, temples were built for cats, festivals were held in their honor, and they were buried in special cemeteries in bronze, silver or gold coffins. In the Middle Ages, attitudes towards cats changed dramatically. Cats were seen as the embodiment of evil spirits and were considered assistants to witches. Cats were burned and their paws were cut off. In Rus', the cat was not an object of worship, but it was not subject to persecution. In Russian folk tales, the cat is almost the smartest animal. The cat himself tells fairy tales and sings songs. The Bayun cat was endowed with a voice that could be heard 7 miles away. With his purring he could induce sleep, which could not be distinguished from death. Presenter 1: Can you call yourself attentive and observant?! What does cat behavior mean? Rubbing the head against a person (Love, devotion, thirst for affection) Ears pressed to the head (Preparation for an attack) Rumbling (Discontent) Twitching the tail (Displeasure) Purring (Pleasure, calmness) Hissing (Readiness for defense) Cats are excellent at predicting weather changes. The cat covers its nose with its paws - To be frosty The cat lies with its belly up - Towards warmth The cat tears at the wall with its claws - Towards bad weather The cat to the stove - To be frosty Presenter 2: There are many superstitions associated with cats. For centuries in Europe, cats were immured in the walls of houses with a rat in their mouth. For what? (To scare away rats and other evil spirits) During a thunderstorm, a black cat was thrown out the door. For what? (They believed that they attracted lightning) It was believed that if you throw a cat overboard, a storm will arise. Why? (The cat protects the ship from the storm) The cat is the first to be allowed into the new house. For what? (To exorcise evil spirits) We still have the belief that whoever kills a cat will not see good luck for 7 years. Whoever loves and protects cats is protected by a cunning beast from all harm. Presenter 1: Cats saved people's lives. During fires, if it happened at night, cats woke up their owners with screams and restless behavior, which saved people’s lives. Cats protect human homes from rats and mice. Do you guys know that if something hurts you and the cat lies down on the sore spot, purrs and gently massages it with its paws, the disease will go away, although it’s not easy for us after such procedures, because cats absorb bad energy. Maybe that’s why they have 9 lives - because their task is to be home healers, and this is difficult and requires a lot of strength and health. Man's true friend
Presenter 2: If you stroke it, it caresses you, if you tease it, it bites you. He sits on a chain and guards the house. I won’t let a stranger into a stranger’s house. Without an owner, I’m sad. Who is this? Which one of you is the dog owner? We will be glad to hear your stories about your charges. (stories from second graders)
The dog is the first animal domesticated by man. Its ancestors are various species of wolves. Man domesticated the dog about 12 thousand years ago. This happened in many places around the world. There are various hypotheses for the domestication of dogs by humans. One of them is shared housing and shared hunting. The dog did not come to the man as a prisoner or a beggar. An equal partner in hunting and protecting common housing came to the man. Nowadays, there are over three hundred dog breeds. Presenter 1: During the Great Patriotic War, dogs helped the wounded on the battlefield, found mines and helped soldiers in reconnaissance. Both people and dogs suffered a difficult fate in those years. But dogs are no less useful in peacetime. They help visually impaired people move on the streets; dogs even have a special profession called guide dogs. They guard houses and protect from hooligans. Everyone knows that there is nothing stronger than a dog's loyalty. Proof of this is Hachiko, who waited for his owner at the station for 7 years and never left. Balto-Siberian huskies, who delivered vital medicines to people in the bitter cold of Alaska. And in the end, they are so happy to just greet you, our dear friends, when you come home. They love playing with you so much! And we really want you not to offend them, because they love you so much that they are ready to give their lives. (Song “There is no creature more devoted to a dog”) Home zoo. Presenter 2: What other animals live near you? Introduce us to them. (stories from second-graders) Presenter 1: Look at the picture and guess what kind of pets I have on the farm. Who's the odd one out here? Why? (squirrel is a wild animal)
Presenter 2: I was taking a group photo of pets, and my camera broke. Look what happened. (Picture of a miracle animal).
Help me figure out which animal body parts are in the photo. Whose tail is this? (Feline). Whose head is this? (Horse). Whose body is this? (Cow). Whose horns are these? (Lamb). Whose paws are these? (Canine). Well, now it’s clear who I photographed. Let's list the poultry.
Presenter 1: Do you know the story of how geese saved the city? It was a long time ago. Neither more nor less in Ancient Rome. Rome lived on and did not grieve, when suddenly the wild peoples of the Gauls attacked the Romans. There were so many of them that half of the Romans fled from the city, and the other half locked themselves in the Kremlin-Capitol. The Gauls really wanted to capture this Kremlin, to get its wealth, but they could not take it no matter how hard they tried. After all, on one side of the Kremlin there were walls and gates, and on the other side there was a steep cliff, because... the Kremlin stood on a mountain. Then the Gauls decided to climb the cliff and take the Kremlin by cunning. They climbed the cliff so quietly and quickly that not a single dog in the city heard them. But that’s not the problem - the geese sensed the rustling and began to guffaw and flapping their wings. People woke up and managed to fight off the invaders. Since then, the Roman people have been honoring geese and bringing them gifts as a sign of deep gratitude! Presenter 2: It’s time to sum up the results of the class survey.
Cats live with ... guys, Dogs - ... guys, There are:...,...,... (listing with the number of pets) Until we found a four-legged friend ... guys.

Presenter 2: You all know that we need to take care of our animals, I want to ask you, do we, people, always take care of our faithful friends? Do all cats and dogs have a home and a caring owner? Every animal thrown into the street is someone’s betrayal. We must remember this and not offend those who cannot defend themselves. Presenter 1: Every person in his life can help at least one animal, this is how it happened, for example, in Dasha’s family..... Sketch “About a kitten” Girl I found a kitten in the garden... He meowed subtly, subtly. He meowed and trembled. Maybe they beat him up, or they forgot to let him into the house, or did he run away? Mother! Mom Better not ask, Where did you get it, take it there! Girl I wouldn’t ask in the summer, But now it’s dark and damp! Mother! Mom I have worries without a kitten - My mouth is full! Where do forest animals live? Girl In a hole... in a den... in a cave... Or in some hollow, Warm with her mother! And this animal has neither a feeder nor a coddle... Mom Stop this bagpipes! Grandfather What is all the noise, but there is no fight? Why is the girl in tears? Girl I found a kitten in the garden, Only mother... Grandfather Wait, wait, wait, Where is this foundling? Oh! What a terrible beast! Here's what we'll do now: Go to your room, wash yourself and calm down a little. Don’t forget to splash milk on the one you found... (Grandfather to mom) Have you forgotten? How it was in our family: Two dogs, two cats, Chickens, geese. Beauty! I can’t believe that... Mom Cats have germs in their fur! Both dogs and cats are all contagious! Grandfather Are you saying these words? Without love for animals, evil children grow up...Daughter! Cast your doubts aside, let the cat stay... Well, where should he go? Do we leave it? Mom Yes! Grandfather Granddaughter, come here! Everything worked out perfectly! Girl He's terribly cute: Mom! Grandfather! Grandfather Well, everything is going like clockwork. If every child had a puppy or a kitten, There would be no animal left without a feeder and a coddle! Teacher:
don’t forget about your four-legged friends, listen to what advice the guys give you: 1st child: Today I want to tell everyone - We need to help animals, share food with them, and better yet, give them shelter!
Your four-legged friend will love you all his life! 2 child Take care of your cats and dogs, wear a leash when you go for a walk! Don’t forget to feed and water them on time, give them vaccinations and just love them! 3 child Let's love all living things, It's wonderful, guys! So that the birds are friends with you and with me, So that the hamster does not hide his curious nose, So that the puppy runs along the path without interference, And the cats are trusting, We “need to always be responsible for those whom we have tamed.” Teacher:
They say love towards animals is a sign of human kindness and sincerity. We are distrustful of people who, out of disgust, are afraid to pet a domestic cat, run away from their friend’s dog, or do not want to get a hamster or fish. Pets are always a joy to communicate with. This is a responsibility for those we have tamed. But the most important thing is care, loyalty, devotion, friendship and love - irreplaceable feelings - that pets give a person. Love your animals and you will definitely be happy! Animals can not only be kind and caring friends, but also show what true love and devotion mean. They will teach responsibility, trust and compassion and make the life of every family more joyful. Happy International Pet Day to all of us and all our pets!!!! Let our dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, rabbits, etc. There will always be our love and care, home comfort and warmth, always full bowls of delicious food!!!
In the cool corner you will find technological maps for making your pets, and everyone will receive a crossword puzzle on the topic of the lesson and, of course, earned prizes.

What to call in one word (hare, bear, fox, wolf, hedgehog)
Where do they live?
Name the topic of the class hour. What will you learn today? Purpose of the lesson:
Today we will take a trip to the forest. Remember the animals of the forest, learn even more about them. Think about how to protect these animals.
There is no place on earth where there are no animals. And they all adapted to live where they were born. Walk through the forest quietly, so that not a single twig crunches under your foot, then you will learn a lot about the life of different animals and birds.
Guess the riddle.
Gray in summer, white in winter, timid by nature. He jumps deftly through the clearings, loves juicy carrots.
In real life, a hare is not a small animal at all. The legs are long, the ears are large. The tail is very short so that it does not interfere with running. Very strong front legs. Finding himself face to face with the offender, the hare turns into a real boxer. He will stand up to his full height and beat the attacker so hard that sparks come out of his eyes! But it happens that a hare, falling on its back, fights off its enemies with its hind legs. In March, hares give birth to babies. Their names are Nastoviks. Babies born in September are called deciduous. The hare has another rare skill - to confuse its tracks. A hare runs across an open field, then stops and runs back in its own tracks. And suddenly - a long jump to the side. Then jog there and back again. And so on several times. Why is he doing this?
Why is the hare called oblique? Not at all because of poor eyesight. His neck is just clumsy. And when he runs away from the chase, he squints his eyes to find out how far his pursuers are.
The hare's coat is warm and fluffy. In summer it is gray, in winter it is white. Why?
Guess the riddle. What kind of animal is this?
Gray, scary and toothy, created a commotion. All the animals ran away. Scared the animals...
The wolf is a cautious and intelligent animal. Wolves live in pairs or families. They sleep in the open air. Wolves make a den - a den - only for breeding offspring.
Wolf cubs are born in early spring. First, the she-wolf feeds them with her milk.
Wolves strictly observe the boundaries of their territory and never hunt in the territory of another pack, which they distinguish by smell. There are few wolves left in our forests. If they disappear altogether, the balance in nature will be disrupted. This always leads to big trouble.
Find out this animal.
I have a luxurious tail, But my character is not simple - I am insidious and cunning. Deep is my hole
Who is the most cunning in the forest? That's right, fox. Even her long-nosed muzzle looks sly, as if a redhead is laughing. The fox has keen hearing. A mouse squeaks a little under the snow, and the fox immediately grabs it. In spring or early summer, foxes give birth to cubs. The fox family is large - up to ten babies are born. Everyone needs to be fed. Here both parents bring food to the hole: birds, hares, frogs, mice.
Foxes live in holes, deep and very long.
Who is this?
There was a pillow with needles lying under the Christmas trees. She lay and lay and ran.
A cute animal is a hedgehog. He wants to seem menacing and angry, this is out of fear. He has no other defense against enemies except needles. During the day he sleeps under a bush or in a hole. and at night it catches snails, slugs, and insects. He can destroy a mouse's nest and eat the little mice. He eats berries, mushrooms, greens. The hedgehog loves to eat well: it is necessary to accumulate fat for the winter so that it has something to eat during hibernation. For the winter, the hedgehog settles in a secluded place in dry leaves and grass: it curls up into a ball and sleeps until spring. In the spring, hedgehogs appear. They are born with white soft needles, blind and deaf. But after a day, their needles harden and become just as dark and sharp. like my mother's. Hedgehogs are very useful animals. They must be protected.
Guess this animal.
Snoring can be heard from the den - the owner, the clubfoot, is sleeping. The whole area is covered in snow, but he feels warm in his sleep
They say: “Clumsy as a bear!” It is not true. The brown bear is a fast, agile and very strong animal. He will catch up with the elk, and if necessary, he will climb a tree. This is the largest, most powerful of the animals that lives in the forest. The brown bear loves honey and everything sweet. The word bear itself means: one who knows where the honey is. He feasts on wild berries and tasty plant roots, but will not refuse tasty acorns and mushrooms. He will find an anthill in the forest, stir it up and put his paw in the middle. The ants cling to the bear's paw, and he licks them off and squints with pleasure. The bear also loves fish. In the fall, having grown fat, the bear looks for a den. A female bear winters together with her cubs in the same den. Everyone knows the phrase: The bear sleeps and sucks its paw. Many people think that in this way he gets rid of the feeling of hunger. And they are wrong. In fact, during hibernation, the skin on the soles of the bear's paws sheds. My paws hurt a little. And the bear sucks its paw to soothe the pain. Helps In spring, bears emerge from their dens. The older cubs, like caring nannies, look after the babies. That’s what they are called – nurturers, i.e. educators.
Much is being done to protect animals. Our country has adopted a law on the protection and use of wildlife. There are also nature reserves to protect animals. These are areas where all nature is protected.
Nature reserves are located throughout our country.
Zoos are also refuges for rare, endangered animals. When there were almost no sables left in the taiga, the Moscow Zoo managed to obtain offspring from them. Now our country's zoos contain many species of rare animals.
But we must protect not only rare animals, but also all others, because all animals are interconnected by a food chain. Therefore, by protecting some, you often help others. We also need to protect the home of animals - these are forests, ponds, meadows.
Even though they are animals, they understand, even more than people, believe me. They will not leave a friend in trouble. For them, the most important thing is children. Even the unfortunate mother cuckoo won’t give it to just anyone. Take care of animals, people, Otherwise there will be few of them left or they will completely disappear from the planet. What is life without them? Just imagine... Take care of animals, people, and don’t leave them in trouble!
