The Clubhouse is the Behavioral Intervention Association's (http://www.bia4autism.org) after-school program. Once a week, children between the ages of 5 and 12, who have communication and social challenges, meet and engage in fun activities to practice different social skills. The Explorers focus on skills such as staying with the group, greetings, turn taking, participating independently in activities, and brief exchanges with peers. The Adventurers focus on skills such as initiating and maintaining conversations, perspective taking, and negotiating with peers.
A Rainbow of Colors: Spin Art (The Explorers)
Today was our last Clubhouse winter session. We played our favorite games one more time and had a little party.
- Our top 2 favorite games of the winter Clubhouse were "Rainbow Bowling" and "Freeze Game," closely followed by the "Rainbow Parachute Play" (see below). We also loved doing art.
- Small Group Art Project "Rainbow Spin Art": A paper plate was placed into a salad spinner. The students added paint with a spoon or eye dropper. They took turns spinning the salad spinner and created interesting patterns.
- Rainbow Parachute Play: We explored different ways how to play with a parachute and had fun singing our rainbow chant while creating waves and lifting the parachute up: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, PURPLE...IT'S A RAINBOW!
