BIA Clubhouse: Where Friendship Rules: The Explorers: Water Fun (Summer Outdoor Fun)

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: Water Fun (Summer Outdoor Fun)

Art Project “Ocean Collage”: The students worked together and painted a big poster board with glossy/sticky paint and glitter paint We used colors that represented the ocean (i.e., shades of blue and green). We then attached sea creatures and stickers to the board. Here is an very easy way how to make glossy and glitter paint:Glossy paint: Mix corn syrup with paint or food coloring.
Glitter paint: Mix paint with glitter.

Water Play: We filled bottles and different containers with the help of funnels and hoses and looked for shells and sea creatures with fish nets. We worked on sharing a space and toys with our friends.
