Presenter (in an astronomer costume): Hello guys! I am an astronomer from a space university, I came specifically to play with you, to find out what you know about planets, spaceships, astronauts... Who are astronomers? Astronomers are scientists who observe and study stars. Even in ancient times, astronomers, without special instruments, studied the stars. They just had to watch the sky.
In the Middle Ages, the spyglass and then the telescope were invented. In our modern times, space stations and artificial satellites are launched into space to explore other planets. You probably know what holiday is celebrated in our country on April 12? (Cosmonautics Day). Do you know why exactly April 12? It was on April 12 that our cosmonaut made the world's first flight into space. Do you know who was the first person to go into space? (Children's answer).

"Cosmonauts" Arthur Givargizov, "Star Book" G. Dyadina, A. Usachev, Efrem Levitan: Fairytale Universe, Small planets, Long-haired stars, Your Sun. Encyclopedias 3. Draw (or colorize) an alien animal or a spaceship. Coloring pages for example Come up with a name for it. Guys, you are all so great! You completed the tasks! Now each of you is an astronaut and is allowed to fly into space! You can celebrate this event and have a space disco! Music and songs at the request of the teacher. Encouragement of quiz participants (optional treats, medals, badges...). Books that I recommend for primary school and senior preschool age. The material will be useful for kindergarten teachers, parents, librarians, primary school teachers, after-school teachers groups. I hope you have fun and usefully spend this time!
