Manitoba joined Confederation on May 12, 1870. To celebrate that occasion you may pick one of the following activities to do.

1. Create a map tour of Manitoba (much like in Find that Town). Come up with at least 25 towns, preferably ones with funky names.
2. Draw a map showing the changing boundaries of Manitoba in 1870, 1881, and 1912. Check here for some information.
   
3. Learn and report about the history of Manitoba's flag.
4. Learn and report about Manitoba's provincial bird, flower, tree and tartan.
5. Discover Manitoba's official motto and what it means in English.
