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.

From Cloudy to Sunny Skies: Raindrop Race




Music Time “I’m Singing in the Rain”: Umbrellas (pre-cut out of fabric) were arranged in a circle in the room. We danced to the classic song "I'm Singing in the Rain." When the music stopped, we found an umbrella to stand on. We then came up with different ways of greeting our friends (e.g., waving, high 5s).





Art Project “Raindrop Race”: We engaged in this activity once before a long time ago when the Clubhouse theme was science. We used eye droppers and diluted paint in different colors and placed drops of diluted paint on a piece of paper that was attached to a cookie sheet. The twist was that the cookie sheet was elevated. We worked in small groups. It was interesting to observe the movement of the drops.
