Very few people know how to use mind maps in kindergartens.
Thinking Map
It is an effective graphic thinking tool for expressing divergent thinking. It makes full use of the functions of the left and right brains to combine images, colors, and keywords through the senses. Think about problems in connection with ideas, and use the laws of memory, reading, and thinking to help people develop a balance between science and art, logic and imagination, thereby unlocking the unlimited potential of the human brain.
There are eight common types of mind maps: circle diagram, bubble diagram, double bubble diagram, tree diagram, bracket diagram, flow chart, complex flow diagram, and bridge diagram.
▼ 1 Circle Diagram
A circle diagram is used to define a thing or an object. It consists of two circles of different sizes. The small circle inside fills in the theme that the children need to describe. , the outer circle is for children to play freely, and they can fill in whatever they think of!

Can also be used in simple arithmetic

A bubble chart is used to describe the attributes of a thing. It consists of many bubbles. The middle bubble fills in the theme of the thing to be described, and the outer bubbles fill in the theme of the thing to be described.

▼ 3 Double Bubble Chart
The double bubble chart is used for analysis, comparison and contrast. It is an upgraded version of the bubble chart. It has one more theme bubble than the bubble chart. , can help children compare two things and make the similarities and differences clear at a glance.

▼ 6 Flowchart
The flowchart is used to clarify the order of things. First write the topic in the blank space, and then start from the first small box to complete the thing. For each step required, use arrows to connect these steps. It is very good at training children's logical thinking ability and careful thinking.

The big box in the middle describes the main events, the small box on the left represents the cause of the event, and the small box on the right describes the results of the event. , and then connect them with arrows.

It can:
a. Enhance the user’s super memory ability
b. Enhance the user’s three-dimensional thinking ability (hierarchy and association of thinking)
