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 Adventurers: Cooperative Relay "The Train" (On the Go!)
Welcome back Adventurers!!!
Small Group Art Project “Race Car Painting”: We worked with a partner and created paintings using race cars
with attached magnets, paint and paper: Raised plexiglass was covered with a
piece of paper. Blobs of paint were placed on the paper as well as two race cars. We moved another magnet against the
underside of the plexi
and painted with the race cars (e.g., making tracks). A very fun and interactive activity.
Cooperative Relay “The Train” :
We worked
in teams (groups of three or four students). We held on to a hula hoop,
pretended to be a train and then
moved together as a group. Cooperative
relays are a great way to promote teamwork and to work together for a
common goal as well as to learn how to pay close attention to a
partner(s).
