Abstract
<p class="apa">This research study aims at investigating the impact of Mind Maps on modifying the lack of attention in Arabic language class among Saudi Kindergarten children. To achieve the goals of this study the researcher used an experimental design with a random sample from AlRae’d Kindergarten’s children in Riyadh -Saudi Arabia for the academic year (2014-2015). The study sample consisted of (40) children divided into two groups: (23) in the experimental and (17) in the control group. The researcher used Al-Obeidi’s (1999) Lack of Attention Scale LAS. Validity of the tool was approved through a half division to measure lack of attention (0.93) which is considered good. The scale was used before and after the implementation of the experiment on both groups. Results showed a positive change in attention concentration in favor of the experimental group. Thus, the researcher recommended the use of Mind Maps in teaching kindergarten children to avoid attention deficiency.</p>

Summary
Mind Maps are considered as an effective tool in active learning strategies that enhance memory to retrieve information and generate new creative unfamiliar ideas (Bozan, 2007). Mind Maps are used as a strategy to teach the educational concepts through lines which are called linking words to clarify the relationship between the concept and others in the form of a hierarchical sequential structure. The more general and inclusive concepts are placed at the top of the map, and more specific concepts at the base of the map (Bozan, 2007). The relations between concepts are represented through different colored arrows. These arrows indicate the level of differentiation between the relationships of concepts. Some relations between concepts are clarified by words or phrases written on the linking lines
