This would work well as a Spring Break take-home activity. Listening to classical pieces by composers are included as an activity box, as well as nature-related finds, outdoor fun, and sharing a song with someone.
Each sheet has the same basic layout with some variations. Print copies of the same "board" or pass out slightly different versions for everyone to mix it up.
