BIA Clubhouse: Where Friendship Rules: The Exploreres: From Fossils and Dinosaurs (From Magnets to Magic Mixtures)

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: From Fossils and Dinosaurs (From Magnets to Magic Mixtures)

Warm-up Game “Dino Hunt": This game is similar to the very popular "Bear Hunt." We listened to the lyrics and music "We are going on a Dino Hunt" by Dennis Westphall and imitate the movements (e.g., swimming through a river, climbing a mountain).

Science Project “Fossils” :
We had a blast making the fossils (for a detailed description of the activity see Adventurers on November 10) and could not decide what was more fun making the dough or playing with it.
