Scratch Game Idea

The idea I have for scratch is of course centered around music.  I am currently working on a unit of composers from the Baroque to the Romantic Eras in my Music Appreciation class.  My thought was in order to make the learning of historical figures more interesting, I should make those figures more interactive.  Choosing a composer to focus on from each era would limit the number of sprites, as well as give me opportunity to have more "space" to work with.  THe part I'm having trouble is deciding what to have these figures do in order to make it a game.  One thought was to have the player be a seperate figure that is trying to "Study" from these influential figures.  THey would then be posed questions where they have to choose the composer that the question corresponds to.  If they answer correctly, they may continue in the game, if not they are relegated to some other musical source to get the answer?
