BIA Clubhouse: Where Friendship Rules: The Explorers: Welcome Back! (Rainy Day Fun and Magic)

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.

The Explorers: Welcome Back! (Rainy Day Fun and Magic)

Welcome back, Explorers. We were eager to get going and to explore the new Clubhouse location.

Art Project “Foil Print”: We were split into small groups and painted a big piece of aluminum foil using different types of brushes (e.g., foam brushes). Then, we placed a piece of colored paper over the painted foil to make an imprint.

Bowling: In order to discover the outdoor areas of Havens Elementary School and since we were lucky and it was not raining, we engaged in a bowling game, which is always a lot of fun.
