Creating a mind map about yourself - ESL worksheet by leonardo5 - Free Printable

Let’s think about what this task is asking.

You’re being asked to create a “mind map” about yourself. A mind map is like a drawing that shows your thoughts in a visual way — with boxes and lines connecting ideas. The center says “This is me,” and around it are different categories like family, look, hobbies, food, favorites, school, animals and pets, and one blank box you can fill in yourself.

Since this is personal, there’s no single right answer — but I’ll help you fill it out with example answers so you know how to do it. You can change them to match YOUR life!

Step 1: Start with the center — “This is me.” That’s YOU! Write your name or draw a smiley face if you want.

Step 2: Go to each box and write something true about you.

- Family: Who lives with you? Maybe “Mom, Dad, little sister”
- Look: What do you look like? “Brown hair, blue eyes, wear glasses”
- Hobbies: What do you love doing? “Drawing, soccer, reading comics”
- Food: What’s your favorite meal? “Pizza, sushi, chocolate ice cream”
- Favorites: Could be color, song, movie — “Favorite color: purple, Favorite song: ‘Happy’ by Pharrell”
- School: What grade are you in? What subject do you like? “Grade 5, Love science class”
- Animals and pets: Do you have a pet? Or what animal do you like? “I have a dog named Max. I also love dolphins.”
- Blank box: Pick something else important to you — maybe “Friends,” “Dreams,” “Places I’ve visited,” or “Things I’m good at”

Step 3: Draw lines from each box to the center (“This is me”) to show they’re all part of you.

Remember — this is YOUR mind map. There’s no wrong answer as long as it’s honest and makes sense to you.

Final Answer:
Fill each box with personal information about yourself:

- Family: [e.g., Mom, Dad, brother]
- Look: [e.g., Tall, curly black hair, brown eyes]
- Hobbies: [e.g., Playing video games, dancing, baking]
- Food: [e.g., Tacos, strawberries, popcorn]
- Favorites: [e.g., Book: Harry Potter, Color: Green, Movie: Frozen]
- School: [e.g., Grade 6, Best subject: Art]
- Animals and pets: [e.g., Cat named Luna, Love pandas]
- Blank box (choose your own): [e.g., My best friend: Sam]

Draw lines from each box to the center circle labeled “This is me.”
