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: Zingo
- Art Project "Board Game": We continued to work on our board game:
- We decorated the game board and the landing spots.
- We glued the landing spots onto the board alternating the different colors.
- We decorated the activity cards.
We can't wait to play the game at one of our next sessions.
- Turn-taking Game “Zingo”: Students were divided into small groups and engaged in the turn-taking game “Zingo": A plastic dispenser deals out two plastic tiles per turn, the first player to see a match between the picture on the tile and on their cards gets to claim the tile. This is a great board game that focuses on vocabulary, matching, social interaction, attention and focus. And it is fun!

- Musical Chairs with Hula Hoops: We revisited this popular game from the winter Clubhouse session. Hula hoops were spread out in the room. When the music played the students danced around the hula hoops. When the music stopped, the students found a hula hoop to stand in. With each stoppage of the music, one of the hula hoops was removed. Everyone did a fantastic job dancing together and sharing the hula hoops.
