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.

Games Galore: Hiss

    Art Project 'Thank You' Poster: We decorated a poster board with different collage materials (stickers, paper scraps, glitter glue, etc.). We also glued on pictures showing us having fun at Clubhouse. With the poster, we wanted to say thank you to our friends at JCHS. Without JCHS, we would not be able to run our San Francisco Clubhouse program.

     Red Light/Green Light: We took turns holding the signs and being the traffic light and practiced paying close attention to the signs. The green sign meant that we had to run as fast as we could to get to the other side. When the red sign was up, we had to stop.


Turn-taking game “Hiss”: Students were divided into two teams and engaged in the game of “Hiss.”  "Hiss" is a great game for all ages and skill levels. The players match colors and make snakes from heads to tails. It can be played as a cooperative game, i.e., all players work together to get as many completed snakes as possible or each player plays against the others. We focused on cooperation today and we all worked together to finish long and short snakes and put them into our snake pit. Slither....
