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 Adventurers: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
Water Balloon Valentine's Day Toss: It was a glorious, hot day today so we decided to open the water balloon season early this year. We partnered with a friend and balanced 2 water balloons on a tray and transported the balloons
across the field. Then, we tossed the balloons onto targets. In the true spirit of Valentine's day, our targets were hearts and the balloons followed the red and pink Valentine's Day color scheme.
Valentine's Memory Game: We were divided into small groups and engaged in a memory game. The goal of the game was to find as many pairs of hearts as possible. We shuffled the cards and laid them in rows on the table.
On each turn, the player, whose turn it was, turned over two cards and
kept
them if they matched. If we found a pair, we got to go again. When a
player turned over two cards that did not match, we turned over those
cards face down again and our turn was over. We
worked on good sportsmanship during the game: A good sport does not
tease another player, always plays fair, follows the rules and does not
gloat when he or she wins!
