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.
Painting on Inclines (From Magnets to Magic Mixtures)
Art Project “Incline Painting”: We were split into small groups and worked in teams. We used eye droppers and diluted paint in different colors and placed
drops of water on a piece of paper that was attached to a cookie sheet or board.
The twist was that the board was raised. We observed how long the drops stayed together until gravity pulled them down. This is a great activity to promote peer communication (e.g., negotiating what colors to use or mix, commenting, sharing observations, getting the communication partner's attention).
