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. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at the Jewish Community High School of The Bay who have given us access to their beautiful campus and their committed student volunteers, we were able to bring our East Bay Clubhouse program to San Francisco.
A Rainbow of Colors: Tissue Color Mix
- Warm-up Game “Freeze”: The students danced around when the music played and froze when the music stopped. Everyone did a fantastic job paying attention to the music.
- Art Project “Rainbow Tissue Color Mix”: Students used starch to brush tissue pieces onto wax paper. By overlapping shapes, they created new colors (e.g., bright blue over yellow to create green).
- Rainbow Treasure Hunt: Students worked together and completed different tasks in order to find a treasure.
- Fishing Game: Students fished for the different colors of the rainbow and then put the rainbows together on a separate piece of paper.
- Bowling: Students worked together to get 50 points. Each knocked down bowling pin equaled 1 point.
- Rainbows were hidden in the classroom. The students had to find the rainbows. The rainbows were their tokens that opened the treasure chest.
