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 Tie Dye Baby Wipes

Today was our last Clubhouse winter session. It was really sad to say goodbye to our friends. We played our favorite games one more time and had a little party. Our top 2 favorite games of the winter Clubhouse were "Rainbow Bowling" and "Rainbow Obstacle Course," closely followed by the "Rainbow Parachute Play". We also loved doing art together. Today, we did another fun art project:
“Rainbow Tie Dye Baby Wipes”: Rubber bands were tied around different sections of a baby wipe. We colored the baby wipes with watercolors. When the rubber bands were removed, beautiful patterns appeared.




Here is our Clubhouse Chant that we have been singing at the end of each session. It was fun to partner up with a friend one more time and to follow the different movements to our chant: 
"Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap. Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap. Clap, clap. clap. Tap, tap, tap. We will see you at Clubhouse next time.  

We will see you at Clubhouse next time!!!

At the end, everyone received a fantastic prize out of  the prize box.
