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.
Games Galore: Zingo (The Explorers)
- Music Time "Listen & Move": The song introduces different rhythms representing a specific movement the students are encouraged to perform. We practiced six different movements as well as our listening skills: walk, gallop, tiptoe, run, skate, and hop.
- Turn-taking Game “Zingo”: Students were divided into small groups and engaged in the turn-taking game “Zingo": A plastic dispenser deals out two plastic tiles per turn, the first player to see a match between the picture on the tile and on their cards gets to claim the tile. This is a great board game that focuses on vocabulary, matching, social interaction, attention and focus. And it is fun!
