Minnesota is known as the land of 10,000 lakes. The legend is that each lake is actually a footprint of the tall tale hero Paul Bunyan . I couldn't find/think of a fun activity for this state so we played some Minnesota fact games on the computer. I didn't even take a picture. BORING!
Mississippi is the only state of the 10 that border the Mississippi river to be named after it. The Choctaw indians of Mississippi played stickball--the oldest game in America. We decided to learn how to play. Unfortunately the instructions that we followed weren't for the "real" stickball. Stickball is a a game where players on teams use sticks to move a ball down field. They can only use the sticks to move the ball. A point is scored when the ball hits the opposing goal post. What we did was practice balancing a ball on a stick.
