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.
Ocean in a Bottle (Summer Outdoor Fun)
Ocean in a Bottle: Today, we created ocean waves in plastic bottles.
- First, we added glitter, shells and sea creatures to the bottle.
- Then, we filled the bottle halfway with blue water. We used a funnel and helped each other, e.g., one of us was holding the funnel while our partner was pouring the water into the funnel.
- We topped off the rest of the bottle with vegetable oil and then screwed the cap onto the bottle and taped the cap.
It was a lot of fun to move the bottle back and forth and to watch our ocean waves.
Water Balloon Relay: We partnered up with a friend and went around obstacles, each of us holding a container with a water balloon in our hands. At the end of the obstacle course, we tossed the water balloons into hula hoops. We had to pay close attention to our partner and the container with the water balloon.
