"The Magic Circle"
For the game you need a cardboard circle, divided into four sectors, each of which symbolizes a certain season and hanging clothes pegs, the color of the circle. The adult guesses puzzles or asks suggestive questions, and the child, knowing the answer, clings a clothespin to the corresponding sector. This game can be done on any other topic.
"Find the right thing"
On the table are put pictures and the educator offers to choose those of them that relate to the called sign. For example: "yellow" - this is the sun, chicken, banana, etc. Or "wet" - rain, fog, puddle.
"What's in your hand?"
Children take their hands behind their backs, and the teacher gives them fruits or vegetables. Then he stands in front of them and in turn begins to show the same as that of the toddlers in their hands. The task of children to touch determine what they have. After the child guessed what he had in his hand, he ran up to the tutor.
In the junior school, in the lessons of natural history, too, the basics of ecology are studied, but in a more complicated form than the game. There are elements of geography and biology. Children improve the knowledge they received earlier, and also do various practical thematic works on ecology. In the warm season, they are held after a hike in the park or other scenic area, after which the one there helps in classes at the desk.
