To the melody of V. Shainsky’s song “It’s Fun to Walk Together,” teams of KVN participants enter.
Leading. Each team must introduce itself according to the chosen name. (The highest score is 5 points.)
I. Warm-up.
Each team is offered one of the cards with questions on it. The team captain chooses a card, but the host asks questions
Card 1
1. What bird can fly tail first? (Hummingbird.)
2. Which bird flies the highest? (Eagle.)
3. Which bird is the smallest in our country? (Korolek.)
Card 2
1. What is the largest bird in the world? (Ostrich.)
2. When is the sparrow's body temperature lower - in summer or winter? (Same.)
3. What bird bears the name of a famous Russian writer? (Gogol.)
For each correct answer - 1 point. You are given 30 seconds to think. If a team does not answer a question, it can be addressed to the team's fans.
The jury sums up the warm-up.
II. Competition “Questions about books”.
Leading. The next task can be easily answered by someone who has carefully read the books by A. Popovkina “Black Swans”, V. Flint “Where the White Crane Lives?”, and E. Surova “Journey to the Pelicans”, which were offered for reading in advance.
As in the previous task, the questions are indicated on the cards that the captains draw.
Card 1
1. In which country do white cranes build their nests and raise their chicks? (In Russia.)
2. How do mother pelicans feed their chicks? (They regurgitate the softened fish from the crop.)
3. How does a jay escape from enemies? (Sinks into the water like a submarine.)
Card 2
1. How many eggs do Siberian Cranes lay? (Two.)
2. How does the gray heron hunt? (Stands motionless, neck drawn in and one leg tucked.)
3. What bird hatches its chicks in the rain? (Swan.)
Leading(addressing the fans).
1. What birds are small swans similar to? (For ducklings.)
2. Who wrote the fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling”? (G. H. Andersen.)
3. What other fairy tales by Andersen, in the titles of which there are names of birds, do you remember? (“The Nightingale”, “Wild Swans”.)
Of course, you have seen adult swans, but have you ever seen small swans? (Answers from fans.)
Several small swans were brought to us from an overseas zoo. Please enter them. (Four boys in ballet costumes enter.)
Look how graceful they are. But these are not ordinary swans: they can dance. Don't believe me? Now you will see that I am telling the truth. (Boys perform “Dance of the Little Swans” to the music of P. I. Tchaikovsky from the ballet “Swan Lake.”)
What is the name of this ballet, who wrote the music for it? (Answers from fans.)
The jury sums up the results of the “Warm-up” and “Questions on books”.
III. Competition "Draw a book cover."
Leading. We continue the game. You (teams) now have to draw the cover of one of the books, the name of which is indicated on the card. I ask the captains to choose cards.
1st card: A. Popovkina “Black Swans”. (Drawing option: sun, water and two black swans.)
2nd card: V. Flint “Where the white crane lives.” (Drawing option: adult crane and chick.)
Leading(addressing the fans). While the team members are working on the task, I want to offer my friends a quiz:
1. Which bird has the longest tongue? (In the woodpecker - up to 15 cm.)
2. Which birds have wings covered not with feathers, but with scales? (In penguins.)
3. Which bird has the longest tail? (Magpie.)
4. Where do tits build their nests? (In the hollows of trees.)
5. What benefits do tits bring? (They eat beetles and larvae.)
6. When are geese especially angry? (When the goslings appear.)
7. How long are the wings of a goose? (Up to 1.5 m.)
8. How do geese protect their babies from bad weather? (Hide under the wings.)
Leading. It is no coincidence that I asked you so many questions about geese. When I was little, my grandmother had geese. This is what happened one day with her geese. (Staging of the song “Happy Geese.”)
Teams offer their options for completing the “Draw a cover” task. Their creativity and skill are assessed by a jury (up to 6 points).
IV. Proverb experts competition.
Leading. The team competition continues. The next competition is for the best knowledge of proverbs. (Teams are offered cards on which the names of birds are written.) Remember the proverbs that mention these birds.
1. Sparrow. Sandpiper. (“The word is not a sparrow; if it flies out, you won’t catch it,” “You can’t fool an old sparrow on chaff,” “Every sandpiper praises its swamp.”)
2. Goose. Tit. (“A goose is not a pig’s friend”, “Better a bird in the hand than a pie in the sky”, “A titmouse is not big, but a bird.”)
For each proverb named, the team receives one point.
Leading(addressing the fans). I'm offering you a quiz again, but now the tasks contain questions from books that I'm sure you've read.
1. Name the favorite delicacy of storks. (Frogs.)
2. What bird’s nest hangs just above the water at the end of a branch in the form of a soft bag? (Remez.)
3. What is the Red Book? (A book about endangered animals.)
Leading. I want to tell you guys more about the Red Book. Many different animals and birds were exterminated by people. Some were hunted too hard, others were not left with a piece of forest or steppe where they could live, and others were caught by predators brought by people. Many plants have also disappeared. In the end, people realized: if nature is not helped, animals and plants will die even more. To prevent this from happening, scientists have compiled a special book - the Red Book.
Here I have the Red Book in my hands. The writer N. Sladkov, who has created many books about animals, talks about this amazing book: “The red color of the book is a forbidding color - stop, stop! This cannot continue. The Red Book of the World has already recorded 295 species and subspecies of animals, 312 species and subspecies of birds. But recording an animal or plant in the Red Book does not mean preserving it. This is still an alarm. The Red Book itself does not protect, but only establishes, records, and warns. Those who are supposed to develop protective measures, and the rest should know about this so as not to harm all living things. Every Red Book consists of colored pages. On the black pages are lists of those whom we will never see again, who no longer exist, who have already died out. All that was left of them were stuffed animals, skeletons, or even nothing at all. Particularly rare and endangered animals are recorded on the red pages. They are still preserved in some places, they can still be found, but there are so few of them that they may disappear completely. On the yellow pages are those animals whose numbers are rapidly declining, which are at risk of being “relocated” to dangerous pages - red. On the white pages are those animals whose numbers have always been small. They live in small areas, their position is unstable. The gray pages contain those animals that are still little studied, their habitats are difficult to access or have not been precisely established. On the green pages - the most hopeful ones - are those animals that have been preserved, saved from extinction, and whose decline in numbers has been stopped.
Our main concerns are to ensure that no living creature ever ends up on the black pages. The idea of the Red Book is to save all animals and flora.
The Red Book prohibits causing any harm to animals and plants, and people who do this are punished. Let us, too, take care of the animals and birds around us, so that when we enter the forest, we can hear their voices. Now you will hear the voices of some of them. Try to find out which bird this or that song belongs to. (A recording sounds with the voices of birds: woodpecker, cuckoo, quail, nightingale.)
V. Captains' competition.
(The melody of “Songs about the Captain” sounds (words by V. I. Lebedev-Kumach, music by I. O. Dunaevsky).
Leading. You probably already guessed that it's time for the captain competition. I ask the team captains to come up and choose a card with a task.
Captains are invited to guess riddles:
1st captain:
1. In the summer he follows the plowman,
And in the winter he leaves screaming. (Rook.)
2. He looks gray
But he is famous for his singing. (Nightingale.)
3. Blind by day, sighted by night,
It's the cat who catches the mice, not the cat. (Owl.)
2nd captain:
1. The brothers stood on stilts,
They look for food along the way.
Are you walking or running?
They can't get off their stilts. (Cranes.)
2. A little boy in a gray army jacket
Snooping around the yards, collecting crumbs,
He spends the night in the fields and steals hemp. (Sparrow.)
3. Every year I fly to you -
I want to spend the winter with you.
I'm even redder in winter
My bright red tie. (Bullfinch.)
The jury announces the results of the proverb experts competition and the captains competition.
Leading. My friends, aren't you tired of sitting? I suggest everyone dance the “Dance of the Ducklings” together.
(Music sounds, everyone dances.)
Leading. We all - both adults and children - love fairy tales. The next competition is called “Who knows fairy tales better?”
VI. Competition “Who knows fairy tales better?”
Each team is invited to look at drawings depicting heroes of different fairy tales. One of the characters in them is necessarily a bird. Remember the names of fairy tales and their authors.
1. Galchonok. (E. Uspensky “Uncle Fyodor, dog and cat.”)
2. Parrot. (G. Oster “Charging for the tail.”)
3. Nightingale. (G. H. Andersen “The Nightingale.”)
4. Goose. (S. Lagerlöf. “The Wonderful Adventure of Nils with Wild Geese.”)
5. Cockerel. (A. Pushkin “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel.”)
6. Raven. (G. H. Andersen “The Snow Queen”.)
7. Owl. (A. Milne “Winnie the Pooh and all-all-all.”)
8. Swallow. (G. H. Andersen “Thumbelina.”)
9. Firebird. (P. Ershov “The Little Humpbacked Horse.”)
10. Sparrow. (K. Chukovsky “Cockroach”.)
11. Swan. (G. H. Andersen “Wild Swans.”)
12. Duckling. (G. H. Andersen “The Ugly Duckling.”)
Leading(addressing the fans). We will give the teams the opportunity to remember fairy tales, and at this time you try to guess the riddles:
1. Not a king, but in a crown, not a hussar, but with spurs,
He doesn’t look at his watch, but he knows the time. (Rooster.)
2. Front - awl, rear - fork,
On top there is a blue cloth,
Below is a white towel. (Martin.)
3. Winged, loud-mouthed, red flippers. (Goose.)
4. Blacksmiths forge among the trees. (Woodpeckers.)
5. Mother, I don’t know my father, but I often call him,
If I don’t know the children, I’ll sell them to strangers. (Cuckoo.)
6. Sleeps during the day, flies at night, scares passers-by. (Owl.)
7. Spinning, chirping, fussing all day. (Magpie.)
8. Scarlet hat, non-woven vest,
The caftan is speckled. (Chicken.)
9. This old friend of ours, he lives on the roof of the house -
Long-legged, long-nosed, long-necked, voiceless.
He flies to the swamp to hunt for frogs. (Stork.)
The jury evaluates the competition “Who knows fairy tales better?”
Leading. As homework, the teams were asked to stage one of I. Krylov’s fables, among the characters of which there are birds. Let's look at the options offered.
VII. Homework competition.
Teams perform dramatizations of fables.
Leading. While the jury is summing up the results, I invite you to guess the proverb that will soon appear on the scoreboard. Now you see only one open word: “Bird...”. Whoever continues this proverb will receive a reward - a book about animals. (“A bird is recognized in flight, but a man is recognized in his work.”)
Results of the game. Rewarding.

Progress of the event:
Guys! Our month is dedicated to the topic of ecology. And I suggest you play in KVN dedicated to this topic. Our KVN is called BIRD KVN. As the cold weather sets in, many birds fly away to warmer climes. Birds are dear to us as irreplaceable helpers in the struggle for the harvest, faithful allies in exterminating pests in agriculture and forestry. Birds decorate the earth. Their cheerful and playful, sonorous song enlivens nature, instills vigor and joy in us.
Two teams participate in our KVN: “Sparrow” and “Tit”.
Teams are invited to the stage. Meet them!
Let me introduce our jury:
1 competition “Introduction and Greeting of teams”
(the team announces its name, motto, emblem; greets opponents, jury, fans)
2 competition “Who knows the life of birds better and more?”
The teams take turns naming the wintering birds of our area.

A bird is recognized in flight, a person in his work.
A man without a homeland is like a nightingale without a song.
If there was a garden, the nightingales would fly.
Happiness is not a bird; it will not fly by itself.
The cuckoo brings news of summer, the swallow brings warm days.
The nightingale sings for a month, and the crow croaks all year round.
While the jury is evaluating the answers, we will now hold the next competition
4 competition “Find out by portrait (drawing)”
Slides (pictures) depicting birds that need to be named are offered.
- The jury sums up the results of the competition
5 competition "Puzzles"

Pinches your heels, run without looking back. (goose)
A tail with patterns, boots with spurs,
At night he sings and announces the time. (rooster)
Although I am not a hammer, I knock on wood.
I want to explore every corner of it. (woodpecker)

I love everyone in the forest
Tell me where you were. (magpie)
A little boy in a gray zip top
Snoops around the yards, picking up crumbs. (sparrow)
It sleeps during the day, flies at night, and scares passers-by. (owl)
Grey-backed, red-breasted,
Lives in winter groves.
He is not afraid of colds
Arrives with the first snow. (bullfinch)
- The jury sums up the results of the competition
6 competition “Think and explain.”
You need to answer questions to prove your answer.
Why are migratory birds in such a hurry in the spring, but in the fall they are in no hurry to fly away? (Birds in autumn do not fly away as long as they eat food)
Why should you not touch bird eggs in nests? (Because the smell of a person scares away birds. The bird will no longer touch the eggs, and the offspring will die.)
You are walking through the forest. Suddenly there is a small bird on a forest path. She runs away from you, jumping on the ground. Poor thing! The bird doesn't know how to fly yet.
Should she be saved? (No, the bird will not disappear if you don’t catch it and take it away from its native place. Young blackbirds, buntings, finches, flycatchers leave their nests without knowing how to fly. They don’t know how to fly, but they know how to hide, become invisible, so that no the predator did not notice them. But the parents find them and feed them).
Remember these rules regarding chicks, do not destroy bird nests.
- The jury sums up the results of the competition
While the jury is summing up the preliminary results, we will play the game with the audience

He walks around in a colorful outfit, as if on parade, doesn’t have a watch, but knows the time. (Rooster)
7 competition "Bird's Dining Room"
Guys, of course, you know well. That winter is the most difficult time of the year for birds. Many birds die because they cannot find food. In winter, birds are not afraid of the cold, but they are afraid of hunger. So they move closer to human habitation, and he, in turn, shows a lot of care for his feathered friends, setting up real bird canteens.
I want to know which birds come to the feeder most often? Will you help me. (children write on pieces of paper the birds we feed in winter)
Well done! Our KVN has come to an end. Thanks to everyone who took part in it. In parting, I want to say a few more words about birds. Scientists have calculated the total number of birds on Earth. There are approximately 100 billion of them, that is, only 20 (beaks) per person.
Do you know that:
1. Out of every 10 people, 9 die in winter.
2. The chicks of one tit that died over the winter could destroy up to 1,080,000 insects.
3. That insectivorous birds (tits) cannot stand even a day of fasting.
4. Wintering birds, having eaten, do not sit down to sleep or rest like chickens, but begin to look for insects with even greater energy.
They live on our planet
Wonderful creatures.
They fly and sing
And they cherish the land sacredly.
Tell me, children,
Is it possible to live without birds in the world?
What happens if the birds
Will they suddenly disappear on earth?
Bugs, bugs, worms
Trees will be attacked
And they will eat the bark, leaves,
They gnaw branches and buds.
This is what will happen
If the birds, if the birds
Everyone will disappear, disappear.
And there will be no chirping,
The wondrous trills of the nightingale,
And the magpies chirp,
Chick - the chirp of a sparrow.
It will be boring, the children know,
Live without birds in this world!
The tit and sparrow want grains
And every bird.
Be bold, don't be timid!
Come and visit us quickly!
And now the jury will announce the winners (awarding certificates).
Scenario of the event “Winged KVN” for junior schoolchildren
Annotation: The event is intended for primary school students and is dedicated to International Bird Day, which is celebrated on the environmental calendar on April 1. The script can be useful for primary school teachers, additional education teachers for conducting classes, lessons on the surrounding world, and holidays dedicated to birds.
Target: Fostering children's environmental culture through deepening knowledge about migratory and wintering birds of their native land.
Tasks:
1. deepening children’s knowledge about the importance of birds in nature and human life, types of birds, and people’s attitude towards them;
2. fostering an emotional and value-based attitude towards feathered friends;
3.development of creative, literary, artistic abilities of children.
Progress of the event:
Leading: Hello, dear friends! We are starting KVN and today it is dedicated to our feathered friends. But first I would like to read you a wonderful poem by Frantisek Galas, what is it about? And you must answer this question yourself!
The earth needs to be defrosted
So that the grass can grow,
Make sure they live together
All living beings.
On a thin green leg
Strengthen the flower bud,
Go around the meadows with a comb,
Bring back birds from afar.
Right on time, but not in a hurry
Choose music for birds.
And make the lazy people laugh,
Captured units!
Banks, fields, hills
Sprinkle with dew in the morning
And warmth in the forest holes
It's high time to bring it!
Sweeten the flowers for the bee,
Water the gardens on time,
Sharpen the hedgehog's needles,
Insert seeds into fruits
So that the plum becomes a plum.
Be a hard worker too!
Tell me guys, who are we talking about? Who creates all these miracles?.. Well, of course, spring! And one of its brightest signs is the return of migratory birds, the revival of the feathered people, and the cheerful chirping of birds in the morning. It is about birds that we will talk today.
For almost a century, ornithologists around the world have traditionally celebrated April 1 as International Bird Day. This holiday began in 1906, when the International Convention for the Conservation of Birds was signed.
In Russia, Bird Day appeared in 1926 on the initiative of young naturalists. In the 40s, this good tradition was interrupted, and resumed in 1996.
Since this year, the Russian Bird Conservation Union has been holding the “Bird of the Year” campaign, the goal of which is to preserve the species diversity and number of wild birds. Each year, only one representative of the birds rules the roost. For example, in 2000 the bird of the year was the great tit, in 2001 - the starling, in 2002 - the kestrel, in 2003 - the curlew, in 2004 - the white stork.
The avifauna of our planet is very rich. Ornithologists count almost 9 thousand species of birds. They are all different, amazing, different: from a few centimeters, like a hummingbird, to several meters, like an ostrich. And we need all of them. Why do you think birds are our friends?..
(children's answers).
Of course, birds are our irreplaceable helpers, because they destroy harmful insects and rodents, are nature’s orderlies, pollinate plants, distribute their seeds, maintain balance between predators and herbivores, and delight us with their amazing songs, the beauty of their plumage, and bring spring and joy on their wings. .
During our event we will test how much you know and love birds. And the first competition that awaits you is your homework.
1.Homework.
As we have already said, birds occupy a special place in our lives. It is not for nothing that so many legends and songs have been written about birds, and many writers have turned to them. For example, I.A. Krylov depicted many of the birds in his instructive fables, while each of his heroines or heroes was endowed with their own unique character.
Tell me, friends, what fables of this writer, in which birds act, do you know?..
Well done! And whether you can just as talentedly convey the habits and character of birds will be shown by your performances - dramatizations of fables, environmental fairy tales or stories.
(Children's performances).
Thanks to the teams for the interesting performances, artistry of performance and new details of the life of birds. Your participation in KVN is assessed by an independent jury. Let me introduce them to you... And now I would like to see if you can recognize the birds from their riddles and solve the charades. The next competition is called warm-up.
2.Warm up: riddles and charades about birds.
Each team is given a poetic description of the bird and several possible answers on the board. After listening carefully to the riddle, the team must choose the correct answer and write it down on the card.
Riddles about birds.
1. I am above the field and swamp
I start singing early.
And I love by helicopter
Hanging in the blue air (lark)
2. I am black with a pen from birth
And to the delight of beet growers
I catch weevils (rook)
3. I sing loudly and loudly,
Returning from the south on time.
But I occupy songs
In rooks or magpies (starling)
4. I don’t like building nests
And when I fly from the south,
Then, without opening his beak,
I scream loudest in the forest (cuckoo)
5. I’m the only bird, I admit,
In the heat and in the cold and in the blizzard
Move along the trunks
I can head down (nuthatch)
Possible answers:
STARLING, CUCKOO, NUTHATH, ROOK, LARK.
Charades about birds.
1.I am deep and full of water,
And you, like everyone else, are proud of me,
And if you add a letter to me,
Then I will become a forest bird. (Volga - oriole)
2. My beginning is in the steppe,
And in silver, and in lead,
And then name the number,
Place the sibilant at the end:
But in general I am such a bird -
I fly faster than anyone else. (S-tri-zh)
3. I’ll tell you my name:
In my beginning I write,
That in “man” there is one thing,
And in the “team” twice as much,
It will not be found in the “stream”,
And the “cuckoo” has three times;
You love to walk in my middle
For berries, for mushrooms;
And in order to complete the word,
We will put the letter “t” with you.
I'm basically a bird. I'll give you a hint -
In winter I hatch chicks. (Crossbill)
4. With the letter “s” I live in a pond,
All fishermen know me.
And with the letter "F" for beauty
They call me the firebird. (Carp - pheasant).
5.You have seen me more than once
On a tree, a bush and in a book.
Now get to work quickly
And feel free to change “l” to “a”:
You can guess the bird in me,
Which you know very well. (Leaf - stork.)
Well done boys! This competition turned out to be up to you. Let's find out what results you managed to achieve in these two competitions. The jury gives the floor... Thank you, and we continue the game. The next task is an erudite competition. You probably know many proverbs about birds. What proverbs and sayings do you know?
(children's answers).
You are real experts in folklore! Proverbs and sayings are short and precise sayings that very aptly reflect any features of a particular subject.
3.Erudite competition: sayings about birds.
In this task you are asked to give a biological explanation for the saying. Each team gets a saying and one minute to think. Then you should read out the saying you have chosen and explain why such a saying came about.
Sayings about birds.
1. Gray-haired, like a harrier. (The males of this bird of prey turn gray with age.)
2. Deaf grouse. (Cocking grouse or capercaillie cannot hear).
3. Got along like a woodpecker. (The woodpecker chisels trees with enviable tenacity, sometimes sits on one tree all day).
4.Like water off a duck's back. (The goose comes out of the water dry, since its feathers are generously lubricated with the fat of the coccygeal gland).
5.He was busy like an owl. (During the day, owls huddle in secluded corners: hollows, attics and other places).
Well done, you did a great job. I am sure that if you know bird habits and characteristics so well, you can easily create sayings about them yourself. Let's try! It is known that sayings are compiled according to given templates and standards. I offer you one of them: for example, the proverb “the further into the forest, the more firewood” is built on the template “the more…, the more…”. And now, based on your knowledge about representatives of the avifauna, fill this template with content and try to give your saying a biological or environmental justification. For example, “the more mice, the more satisfying the owl.” You are given one minute.
(Teams complete the task).
Thank you, dear writers. Is the jury ready to evaluate this competition?.. Please give your ratings to the participants...
And we continue. People composed not only proverbs, poems and songs about birds, but also legends. I suggest you listen to one of them. Perhaps no other bird is associated with as many beliefs among different peoples as this one. Some peoples exalted her, others cursed her. The Chinese considered it a symbol of prosperity, the Polynesians considered it the evil god of the night, and among the ancient Greeks it personified wisdom. In the Middle Ages, the church declared this bird an unclean animal, a servant of the devil, and it was mercilessly destroyed. This bird is still considered mysterious today. Unusual appearance, silent flight, scary voice, nocturnal lifestyle - all this disturbed people's imagination. And at the same time, it provides humans with an invaluable service: the predator alone destroys from 1000 to 1200 mice per year. This means that it saves at least a ton of grain. Did you recognize this bird? Of course it's an owl, the 2005 bird of the year.
Each team had to prepare its own legend and offer it to the audience, and the latter, after listening to the legend, had to guess what bird it was about.
4. Captains' competition: legendary birds.
(Speeches by team captains).
I thank all the teams for the interesting legends and correct answers. Let me remind you that the legend told brings the team up to 5 points, and the team that is the first to give the correct answer receives 1 point. In the meantime, our jury is summing up the results of this competition and counting the total points, I would like to remind you once again that birds are our friends, take care of them!
