Ostinato Idea

Here is an ostinato activity that I used with my 1st graders last week.  I have to give props to my music colleague for sending me his version of this worksheet... I changed a couple things to fit how I wanted to teach it and PRESTO CHANGE-O... OSTINAT-O (haha, I couldn't resist).

I laminated a class set of these

I gave each student a sock (eraser!) and a dry erase marker... I also had to go around the room with a spray bottle of water to help them erase their work

The following week I gave them their own paper copies of this worksheet and they created their own ostinatos!  I am so impressed with their work!
