The Innovation Nation Mind Mapping Challenge
Brain boosting activities for your children
Here in the UK it’s the half term holiday, and if you’re a schoolchild this means a week of fun, freedom, and hopefully, some family time. So here at ThinkBuzan we’ve come up with some holiday tips to keep your kids occupied, thinking big and getting their imaginations flowing. By the end of the week they will have built up a Mind Map of their very own country; including its geography, food, wildlife, national sport and very own language.
Ever heard of the expression ‘a man’s home is his castle’? Well with the Innovation Nation Challenge, ‘a child’s home is their country’. Through using imagination and creativity this week, you and your children will be transforming your house into your very own “Utopia” through five Mind Mapping activities.

A Young Mind Mapper’s First Steps
Engaging the children
This August, ThinkBuzan hosted a Mind Mapping competition for under 16’s in the hope of tearing the children away from the computer console and steering them toward something more productive and beneficial to their brains.
One young Mind Mapper in particular really grabbed our attention after emailing us for tips on how to improve his Mind Maps to better his chances of winning the coveted iPod Touch with iMindMap Mobile Pro. His eagerness to learn and his drastic development impressed us so much; we just had to find out more!
