BIA Clubhouse: Where Friendship Rules: The Exploreres: Wheel Tracks (On the Go!)

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 Exploreres: Wheel Tracks (On the Go!)

Welcome back to our Clubhouse spring session. This time around, it's all about different modes of transportation.

Pretending to be on the subway: Are we there yet?

Warm-up Game “Subway Musical Chairs” : We played this classic game today but pretended to be on a subway. When the music played, we moved around the chairs. When the music stopped, we tried to find a seat "on our subway" as soon as possible.

Art Project “Wheel Tracks Collage”: First, we painted a big piece of paper with foam brushes in a dark color to create a street. Then, we used plastic vehicles to make tracks by rolling them through paint first and then rolling the vehicle on the poster board.

Red Light Green Light: What better game to play than Red Light Green Light when it is all about transportation.
