BIA Clubhouse: Where Friendship Rules: The Explorers: Scooter Board Shuttle (Moving and Grooving)

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: Scooter Board Shuttle (Moving and Grooving)

Art Project "Homemade Rainsticks": We created homemade rainsticks like our friends from the Adventurers group (for a detailed description of the activity see Adventurers 10/04/2012). The only difference was that we used paint and feathers instead of markers and stickers. We experimented with different sounds: Larger beans made a harder sound, smaller beans a softer one.

Getting ready for the game

Scooter Board Shuttle: Playing with the scooter boards was one of our favorite activities during the Clubhouse transportation theme (spring 2012). Here is the description of the game:

One player sits on the scooter board while two other players pull the scooter board across the field. This game is truly cooperative since it is only successful if all players work together.
