Educator: Hello guys and guests of our kindergarten. Autumn is rich not only in harvest, but also in autumn holidays. On the last Sunday of November, the country celebrates Mother's Day, and before that, on September 21, our entire country and all believers around the world celebrate a great holiday - the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Great Mother, the Mother of God. We will now talk about this with you.
Slide number 2 (The image of the icon of the Mother of God appears on the screen).
In the distant, ancient city of Nazareth, there lived a pious married couple - Joachim and Anna. They were righteous before the Lord, and with a pure heart they kept his commandments. Everything would be fine, but only they did not have children. At that time, this was considered a great punishment and was condemned by people. So they lived for more than 50 years, subject to ridicule and reproaches from the people around them. One day, Joachim came to the Temple to offer a sacrifice to God, but the priest Issachar rejected his offering, reproaching him for the mischief. And other tribesmen also rebuked him. It was hard for Joachim to hear such words publicly, and he decided not to return home, but to go into the desert and pray there for 40 days and nights. At the same time, Anna, his wife was at home and learned about the insult inflicted on her husband. She wept bitterly in the garden under the tree. And lifting her eyes to the sky, she saw a nest with chicks in the branches - tears poured from her eyes even more. “Woe to me, lonely - everyone in the world is comforted by children: both the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth are fertile with You, Lord, and the earth bears its fruits in time, and everyone blesses You! I alone am like a waterless steppe, without life and vegetation! Look at me, Lord, and hear my prayer! " And suddenly an angel appeared before her and said that her prayers had been heard and that her daughter would be born and she would call her Mary. Anna rejoiced and went to Jerusalem to give praise and thanksgiving to the Most High.
An angel of God appeared to the righteous Joachim and said the same words to him. And Joachim also hastened to the Jerusalem Temple, where he met his wife and the Golden Gate.

In due time, their daughter was born and she was given the name Maria, which means in Hebrew: "lady", "hope."

The elderly parents, having entrusted their daughter to the will of the Heavenly Father, brought him thanksgiving sacrifices and returned to their home. Maria continued to live at the temple.
But the ancient Jews did not have monasteries where they could devote their whole lives to God. And Mary was betrothed to the righteous Joseph, i.e. entrusted to him not for marriage, but for the preservation of her virginity and purity. So, some time has passed. Once Mary was in her room and read the Holy Scripture, and at that moment the Archangel Gabriel appeared to her. He predicted to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and give birth to a son and would call Him the name Jesus.
Slide number 8 (The image of the icon "Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos" appears on the screen).

And it's time for Mary to give birth. There was no room in the hotel, and the family took refuge in a cattle cave. Mary gave birth to a baby and put him in a nursery, a cattle feeder. The shepherds were the first to bring their reverence and brought everything they had: purity of love, strong faith, and heartfelt praise to their Savior and Master.

Houses, trees, people walk the streets. The seller sells ice cream. Everyone is busy with their own business.
And if we go to the forest, what will we see there?
There are different trees growing, birds flying, animals running. In summer, butterflies fly. There are many insects: bugs, worms, grasshoppers. And if there is a river nearby, then there are fish swimming.
Everyone and everything on Earth has a place. The world is our common home. How can we live in such a populous world all together? How not to interfere with each other?
2) The story "How happy you are!" V. A. Sukhomlinsky
Today the kids came to school for the first time. Tomorrow they will sit down at their desks, and today their parents have brought them to meet the teacher.
The mothers went home, and the children stayed with the teacher on the green lawn, under a tall linden tree.
The old teacher Ivan Filippovich today meets the tenth generation of his pupils. Will bring these kids to the fourth grade, and he will celebrate forty years of his work at school.
Affectionate, friendly eyes of the teacher look into the black, blue, gray, blue eyes of their pupils.
The children are smiling.
- Children, have you seen how the morning dawn rises long before dawn? - asked Ivan Filippovich, and his affectionate smile caused the same warm smile in the kids.
“No, they didn’t see it,” the children answered.
- Have you seen how the Nightingale drinks dew?
- No, they haven't seen ...
- And how does a bumblebee clean its wings - before taking off from the flower in which it slept at night?
- Did not see...
- Have you not seen how a cheerful insect - a ladybug - on a warm winter day, sleepily peeps out from under the bark: has not spring come?
- Did not see...
- What are you happy, children ... - said Ivan Filippovich. - Happy, because you have something to see. Happy because you will see many beautiful things. I will lead you to the shore of the pond, and you will see the morning dawn rise. We will sit in the bushes, hold our breath and see how the nightingale, waking up, drinks a drop of dew. We will come before sunrise to a large pumpkin flower and find a lazy bumblebee there, who spent the night in the flower, woke up and was cleaning its wings. Let's go in early spring to the trunk heated by the sun and see how a ladybug looks out from under the bark and looks at the snow in surprise: what is it - it's already hot to sleep in bed, and there is snow on the street? ..
You are such happy children, because all this is to be seen ...
Test questions:
- Where do you think such a complex big world came from?
- Why does everything in the world fit one another so?
- Think and name the visible and invisible in man and in the world.
- How does the man-made world affect the non-made world?
- Why does the teacher say the children are happy in the story we have read?

And we are all only children for Him.
- But is it only man who feels love? Can animals, but also plants, respond to good feelings. Listen to a story about this.

He did not just water them, cut off dry branches, loosen the ground, weed weeds, but talked to each flower, pitied it. And the flowers, responding to his love, delighted everyone with their extraordinary beauty, wonderful aroma, and bright colors. Years passed, the gardener died, and in his place came another - a young and learned. He also watered flowers, cut off dry branches, loosened the ground, only he did not talk to each flower and did not spare him. And beautiful flowers still grew in the royal park, but now their beauty did not touch anyone.
- Tell me, guys, why did the extraordinary beauty of flowers disappear?
- Yes, it turns out that all life on earth feels love for them and responds to it. And remember, we spoke with you that the immortal distinguishes a person from plants and animals ...
Children: - soul.
- Yes, man is like God with his immortal soul. And if in all his life a person "Nourish" soul with love for God and loved ones, with light and joy, then after death his soul will be where love, light and joy, that is, with God. Life in love is a great joy. And God wanted other beings to receive this joy. For this, He created the world. God first created angels... They were created good, for serving God and voluntarily fulfilling His holy will out of love and joy…. (presentation - film: 6 min)

Development of a lesson on spiritual and moral education for senior preschool children on the theme "Creation of the world"
Completed by the teacher

p. Lvovskoe
Explanatory note.
Children of older preschool age reach a sufficiently high level of physical and mental development, they perfectly master almost all types of activities, are distinguished by great mobility, sufficient endurance, speech becomes literate, vocabulary expands, the ability to retell small works of art, compose stories from personal experience appears fantasize. Children of this age are already able to control their behavior, they begin to make those demands on themselves that adults used to make of them; this becomes possible due to children's awareness of generally accepted norms, rules of behavior and the obligation to comply with them. The formation of religious feelings in older children is based not only on emotions, but also on certain knowledge, correct ideas about good and evil, and justice. According to the priest Alexander Yelchaninov, “it is important to hurry to fill the heart and mind of a child with light and good from an early age”, “this is the very soil in which the sown crops yield a harvest of thirty, sixty and even one hundred carats. Then, when it turns to stone, the soul hardens, what it perceived in childhood can again cleanse, save a person. " Therefore, we can conclude that what a person perceived in childhood determines his entire future life.
Based on what was said, I set myselftarget: to give children an elementary idea of \u200b\u200bGod as the Creator of everything that exists; show how beautifully our Earth is created.
Focusing on the goal, I formulatedtasks:
Familiarization of preschoolers with the main events of the Old Testament;

Promoting the formation of a spiritual and moral personality with an optimistic outlook on life, with a focus on cognizing God, helping to make sure of His reality through familiarizing with the beauty and wisdom of the world he created, to promote the formation of higher (religious) feelings;
Promoting the development of children's speech: enriching the vocabulary, developing verbal communication skills;
Development of skills of perseverance and accuracy in work.
Estimated result.
With the help of systematic work on spiritual and moral education, I hope to achieve the following results:
Stability of behavior skills;
Stability of mental development;
The integrity of the perception of the world;
Education of a comprehensively and harmoniously developed personality;
Formation of a team where everyone is valuable and everyone comes in harmony with each other;
Development of abilities for self-improvement and independent creativity;
Preliminary work:

Night "," Sky "; outdoor game "Day - night"; reading the story "Our World", reading the Children's Bible (Old Testament); creative activity of children: drawing and design on the theme "Clouds", "Day - Night", "What we saw on the walk."

Children, the biblical story begins with the words:
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the deep;
and the Spirit of God was hovering over the water. "
So, at first there was nothing at all ... Only darkness and emptiness ...The teacher invites children to close their eyes, close their ears with their palms, sit like this for a few seconds, and then answer the questions:
Educator:
Have you seen anything? What was before your eyes? Have you heard anything?
Nothing was seen, nothing was heard - only darkness and silence.
Close your eyes again. Dark? Now open your eyes. What did you see?
Light, objects around, each other ... In the world at the beginning there was nothing but darkness and emptiness, but God created light.
“And God said: Let there be light. And there was light.
And God saw the light that it was good; and God separated light from darkness.
And God called light day, and darkness night.
And there was evening and there was morning: one day. "
This was first day of the world.Evening and morning, and the very days of God's creation of the world were much longer than our present days.
