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: Rainbow Sparkle Bottle

Small Group Art Project “Rainbow Sparkle Bottle”: Students created a rainbow of swirling colors by filling small plastic bottles with light corn syrup, water and glitter. The students were encouraged to help each other to complete this project.

    1. How to create a Magic Sparkle Bottle:
    2. Fill bottle about 3/4 (or less) full with corn syrup (light corn syrup works best). 
    3. Add glitter. 
    4. Fill the rest of the bottle with cold water. 
    5. Tape the bottle cap. 
    Show & Tell: Students shared their “rainbow sparkle bottles” with the group.

        Rainbow Bozo Bucket Toss: 
        The students tossed bean bags (rainbow colors) into the buckets. If they were successful and hit the target, they drew a question/statement out of the bucket (e.g., “Give your friends a high 5.”/”How old is your friend?”).  The game continued until all questioned were answered.
