What’s Missing?

Whenever you create a list of anything, someone is sure to say “you’ve missed something essential out”

This is even more true when the government have created the list. Depending on your viewpoint there will always be something missing, but is there anything fundamentally missing from the Activity Passport?

One suggestion is that it should say “Learn to play a musical instrument”.

What do you think? Is there something of essential importance missing from the Activity Passport? Below are listed all of the current activities in the passport. Let us know if you thing something is missing, and preferably why you think that.
