Organizing time.

Emotional attitude towards perception.

(Calm music sounds. The teacher reads a poem.)

How the heavens shine

Height and beauty!

And it jumps loudly across the sky

The sun is like a yellow ball!

At night, so that it is not scary,

The luminaries are kindled;

And stands as surprised

The forest in its green foliage ...

What is this poem about? (About the beauty of the surrounding world.)

3. Updating knowledge.

Conversation about the beauty of the surrounding world.

Which one of you was in the woods? What beautiful did you see there?

Who was in the field? What's beautiful there?

Who was at sea? What's beautiful there? (Answers of the children.)

Game moment.

Close your eyes and imagine the most beautiful world around us. Tell us what you presented. (Answers of the children.)

Is the world around us beautiful? (Yes.) Let's admire its beauty.

Viewing the slideshow "Beauty will save the world" to the music.

4. Physical education.

The sun is sleeping.

The sun sleeps and the sky sleeps.

(Folded palms to the left cheek, to the right cheek.)

Even the wind doesn't make noise.

The sun rose early in the morning

(Raised their hands up, stretched.)

He sent all his rays.

(We spread our arms to the sides.)

Suddenly a breeze blew

(We swing our hands raised up.)

The sky is cloudy,

(They covered their face with their hands.)

And he shook the trees.

(Swinging the torso to the left - to the right.)

The rain pounded on the roofs

(Jumping in place.)

The rain is drumming on the rooftops

(Clap our hands.)

The sun is sinking lower and lower.

(Forward bends.)

So it hid behind the clouds,

(We squat.)

Not a single ray is visible.

(They got up and hid their hands behind their backs.)

5. Motivation for learning activities.

(On the board - illustrations depicting nature and objects made by man.)

Divide the illustrations into two groups. Why was it so distributed? (Some pictures are man-made objects, while others depict nature.)

Do you like what man has created? It's beautiful? (Yes.)

Is nature beautiful? (Yes.)

(The teacher posts two signs: "The beauty man-made " and "Beauty not made by hands".)

What does hand-made beauty mean? And miraculous? (Answers of the children.)

What pictures show man-made beauty? On which ones - miraculous? Explain.

Problematic question.

Where did all this miraculous beauty come from? Where did the whole world come from? Where did all life on our beautiful Earth come from? Who created the golden sun, the silver moon, alluring stars, blue seas, fast-flowing rivers, quiet lakes, mountain peaks? And is it true that everything in the world formed by itself? (Children make guesses.)

6. Work on the topic.

Teacher's story.

Of course, it didn’t just happen. Can a beautiful picture paint itself? Or can a house build itself? Just as an artist painted a picture, a writer wrote a book, a builder built a house, so the world around us must have its Creator, its Creator. This Creator is God.

God not only created the entire universe. He filled her with life and established a wonderful order (harmony).

The stars move harmoniously and according to certain paths and laws near each other. All plants and animals are settled on the earth according to this order. And whoever is supposed to eat what he eats.

God gave everything its time, place and purpose. Only man lives everywhere on earth and has dominion over everything. God endowed him with reason, an immortal soul and a great gift - free will to choose between good and evil. Therefore, each person is responsible for his deeds, his actions, for his life.

7. Continuation of work.

Coloring pictures "God's world" or drawing on the theme "The beauty of God's world" (to quiet music). Exhibition of works.

Conversation about a person's attitude to the world around him.

See what beautiful world God created for us. And on whom does this world depend? (from person)

8. Anchoring.

Reading and discussion of the story "Everything is in your hands".

All in your hands...

Once upon a time, in one city, there lived a great sage. The fame of his wisdom spread far around his hometown, people from afar came to him for advice.

But there was a man in the city who was jealous of its glory. Once he came to a meadow, caught a butterfly, planted it between his closed palms and thought: “I’ll go to the sage and ask him: tell me, oh wisest, which butterfly is in my hands - alive or dead? If he says - dead, I will open my palms, the butterfly will fly away, if he says - alive, I will close my palms and the butterfly will die. Then everyone will understand which of us is smarter. "

And so it all happened. The envious person came to the city and asked the sage: "Tell me, wisest one, which butterfly is in my hands - alive or dead?"

Then the wise man who was really smart person, said: "Everything is in your hands."

How did you understand this story? (Answers of the children.)

9. Outcome.

I want to end our lesson with the poem from which it began. And you answer the question that is contained in the poem.

Developing a spiritual lesson - moral education for older children preschool age on the theme "Creation of the World"

Completed by the educator

E.V. Nashchekina

the item Lvovskoe

Explanatory note.

Older preschool children achieve enough high level physical and mental development, perfectly master almost all types of activity, are distinguished by great mobility, sufficient endurance, speech becomes literate, expands vocabulary, the ability to retell small works of art, compose stories from personal experience while fantasizing. Children of this age are already able to control their behavior, they are beginning 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 the child with light and good from an early age”, “this is the very soil in which the sown crops yield 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 myself purpose: give children elementary representation about God as the Creator of everything that exists; to show how beautifully our Earth was created.

Focusing on the set goal, I formulated tasks:

Familiarization of preschoolers with the main events of the Old Testament;

Raising a feeling of love in children, a caring and careful attitude towards the plant and animal world, teaching them a respectful attitude towards the world around them - the great creation of the Lord;

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, promoting 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.

The intended 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 in themselves and everyone arrives in harmony with each other;

Development of abilities for self-improvement and independent creativity;

Preliminary work:

Working with illustrative material; observation while walking; conversations "The world of God around us", "Light. Day. 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 during the walk."

Educator:

Have you seen anything? What was before your eyes? Have you heard anything?

Nothing could be seen, nothing could be 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 here 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.

Good morning dear guys!Who can tell you where to start every Sunday school class? - That's right, with prayer. Before starting to do something, we must ask for God's blessing, God's help.

So let's pray. Let's get up from the tables, turn to the icon of the Lord Jesus Christ and say: “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen". Let's cross ourselves. And again we will sit down at the desks. Good.

Today, guys, we're going to talk about very important things. You said that you are already adults, therefore, you can talk about serious things.

Tell me guys, do you like the forest? And what do you like? River, sea, ocean ...? Have you ever seen mountains? All this is very beautiful, guys.

But where did all this come from? Who invented this beauty?

Guys, let's turn around. What do you see in front of you?
- Books.
Do you have any books at home?
- Yes, there is.
Surely there is. And I also have books.

You know guys who read books get smarter because books are written by wise people.

But even the most wise people always asked themselves: how did the sun appear, which warms and shines so pleasantly? Who invented flowers so beautiful and fragrant? And most importantly, who invented the person? Where did all this come from?

And wise people, trying to find the answer, wrote books.

Let's go guys to the bookshelves. What kind of books do you see?

Different: big and small, different color, the book can be about animals, or maybe with fairy tales.

All of these books are great. And when you are a little older, and you have your own books - very different, very interesting books.

All these books are good, but there is a book in which we will find the answer to the question "where did everything come from?" This book tells how the sea, the sky, trees and flowers, forests and mountains, and, of course, how man was created.

Let's try to find it in our library. I will give you a hint: this is the most big Book and it can be very hard.

That's right guys! You guessed. This book is called the Bible.

Let's say together? - Bible.

Look how big and heavy it is, like a real encyclopedia. Anyone who reads the entire Bible will become a very wise person.

You and I wanted to know how our world came about, everything that we see around.

Let's open the Bible and see. We will only be very careful.

On the very first page it is written: ... (Read Genesis 1: 1-5 ). Further in the Bible it is said about how God created everything in the world.

The Bible says that everything that we see: the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars, animals and birds, the sea and mountains, even people - all this was done by Almighty God.

Everything God did was very beautiful. God rejoiced when he saw the fish splashing in the river, how the birds feed their chicks, how the butterflies flutter their wings.

It was all very beautiful. And God wanted to share this joy with someone else. Then ... Then God created man. The very first person. And now God and man rejoiced at this extraordinary beauty.

We read about all this in the Bible. This is the most amazing book there is.

To educate in children the ability to feel the beauty and wisdom of the world around them, to acquaint them with the life of nature.

Affectionate, friendly eyes of the teacher look into the black, blue, gray, blue eyes of their pupils.

“No, they didn’t see it,” the children answered.

- Have you seen how the Nightingale drinks dew?

- No, they did not see ...

- 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 a lot of 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 to a large pumpkin flower before sunrise 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 ...

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).
Far away ancient city There lived a pious married couple in Nazareth - Joachim and Anna. They were righteous before the Lord and kept his commandments with a pure heart. 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 a 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 thanks to the Most High.

To the mistress
To You, Holy Lady,
I will come to You for mercy,
In You, the good intercessor,
I will find cover and help.
You are our refuge, and a shield,
And the healing of the sick
The offended hurries to You,
Joy, Joy of all who sorrow!
