Mind map read picture books
My baby still has a week to go to kindergarten, and recently took out the social picture book and read it again, one of which I especially want to share with you, that is, "Are You Willing to Be My Friend?" 》
Because this sentence is the most recent sentence of Jelly Bean, the little green rat is also a model for her to overcome difficulties and make friends.
Three months ago, we had just moved to a new neighborhood, and although Jelly Bean quickly adapted to the new home, it did not quickly integrate into the new circle of friends.
When I went out to play, I saw that she was very happy to run over to slide the slide with the children, but the people had formed a small group, and they were not too willing to accept her as an outsider, she played with the slide herself, and looked at other children with envy, a little lonely, but also a little disappointed.
She came home and said to me, "Why aren't there any fruits and eggs here, I want to play with them!" ”
I realized that such a young child also needed the support of her peers to come to a new environment, and she would miss her friends.
I began to consciously help her make new friends, and when I met children, I would remind her to ask, "Would you like to be my friend?" Sometimes there was a response, sometimes it was simply ignored, and I could see the uncertainty and hesitation in her eyes, but she still asked like a little green rat again and again, even if she didn't get a response.
I think this is also a kind of exercise, from these experiences, she will understand on her own that not everyone can be friends, and it is normal to be rejected, and perhaps with deep contact and understanding, the person who rejected you in the first place will also become friends with you.
She now has a very good friend, and when she meets children she doesn't know outside, she can also take the initiative to say hello and play together, even if she is rejected, she will not fall into unhappiness.
Soon to enter the kindergarten, I know that she is about to face a small society alone, and I hope that she can carry that little rucksack full of love, and grow up happier by building friendships with children and trusting teachers.
Today I read it carefully with her again, experienced the tenacity, friendliness and self-confidence of the little green rat, and drew three mind maps, which children can master, you can refer to the following article ↓↓↓
A thinking tool that 3-year-olds can also master, which is fun and fun
The following is a bubble diagram, a double bubble diagram and a parenthetical diagram.
Bubble chart
First draw our protagonist, the little green mouse.
Then ask the child a question: "What do you think are the characteristics of the little green rat?" How would you describe him? ”
Then let the child say the characteristics and we fill in the bubbles.
Isn't it very simple, the bubble chart is complete!
Double bubble chart
The little green rat encountered a lot of small animals, here is the frog as an example, ask the child a question: "What are the similarities and differences between the little green mouse and the frog?" ”
Then write the same in the middle, write different places in the outer circle, this method is particularly good for the exercise of children's thinking, can inspire children to think, but also mobilize children's observation and memory.
Bracket diagram
There are many places where this picture book can play mind mapping, and I will give a simple example, that is, you can draw the elephant's head and let the child say: "What is the elephant's head made of?" What are the sections? ”
Then according to the child's words to draw on the right, if the child can draw, you can also let the child draw it himself, which is particularly good for the exercise of integral thinking.
Those who have this picture book can draw it with their children, believe me, reading with your pen and brain, it feels absolutely different.
This picture book is worth reading several times, and every time you read it, you will find some small details, such as the little green rat, although he has been rejected many times, he can still find the beauty of the small flowers on the side of the road, how optimistic and positive he is.
The little green rat finally found a friend who was a gray elephant. Just in contrast to the little gray rats at the beginning, although they are different colors and different categories, they can still become good friends, even if the elephant was originally afraid of rats, but when the elephant and the little green rat became friends, he was no longer afraid of rats.
The last sentence was particularly heartwarming and true: "It feels good to have a friend".
