Mind Mapping - Sort the Picture Game

Mind-mapping helps children to sort images by theme, and it increases their vocabulary. Processing information visually, makes it easier to remember that information.

The game contains assignment cards that, together with the coloured wooden circles, form the mind map. The assignment is at the heart of the game, around it follows the ramification. The children can select images from the supplied cards with which to fill in the mind map. The themes on the assignment cards are very diverse, from colours to the design of a house. With the assignment card with colours, the children sort tokens by colour. Yellow subjects appear on the yellow circle, red on the red circle, and so on. For example, with the assignment card in and around the house, subjects related to the garden are green, subjects from the bathroom are blue, and the kitchen is red. Own mind maps can be created with the back of the 6 assignment cards.

The game contains two wooden circles in each basic colour (red, blue, yellow and green), thus allowing 2 (groups of) children to create a mind map simultaneously.

Key Educational Benefits:

• Enhances Vocabulary and Language Skills. Mind mapping supports vocabulary retention by associating new words with related concepts and images. This visual representation aids in creating a web of connections, enhancing understanding and recall.
• Promotes Cognitive Development. Creating mind maps helps children organise their thoughts and ideas, improving memory and the ability to recall information. This technique aids in structuring knowledge, making complex subjects more manageable.
• Fosters Creativity and Critical Thinking. Mind mapping encourages children to think creatively by exploring various themes and their interconnections. This process enhances problem-solving skills and the ability to approach tasks from different perspectives.
• Supports Social and Collaborative Learning. The game allows multiple children to work together, promoting teamwork and communication. Collaborative activities help develop social skills and the ability to share ideas and resources effectively.
• Improves Fine Motor Skills.
• Learn to observe accurately.
• Develop creativity and make reasoned choices by thinking ‘outside the box’.
