- Hi, Neighbor!

We're at the Neighborhood
Carnival.

Whoa, so many games we can play!

Come on!

Look who I see...
It's Miss Elaina!

- Daniel! Daniel! Come see
my.... Wacky Wheel of Wonders!

- Wacky... wheely... what?

(giggling)
- Wacky Wheel of Wonders!

OK, watch.

You spiiiiiin
the wheel...

And when it STOPS,
it'll show us what to do!

Boomer-ific!
It landed on star.

That means 'do a trick.'
So now...

I will do a trick!

My wacky, wheely cartwheel!

Ta-dah!
- Tiger-tastic!

Can I try?
- Sure!

- Spiiiiin!

- ...And STOP! You got....

BACKWARDS BUBBLES!
- What's-that-what's-that-
what's-that?

- Watch!

I'm blowing bubbles...
backwards!

(giggling)
- What's that?

- Oh! Prince Wednesday!
Chrissie! Want to play?

- The Wacky Wheel...
- ...of Wonders!

- Yeah! Can I spin the wheel?
- Sure!

- Maybe you'll get
backwards bubbles, like me!

- Spiiiiin...

- ...And stop!
- Ooh!

It stopped on
'do a trick,' again!

- Ooh, ooh! Can I do the trick
this time?
- OK!

- For my trick,

I will do a wacky
wheely cartwheel,

just like Miss Elaina!

Umph. Wait,

let me try again! Umph!

Oh...

- Daniel, what's wrong?

- I can't do
a cartwheel like you.

I guess you should do
the trick, not me.

- OK. Here's your trick!

Here's... a... wacky,
wheely... cartwheel!

- Hooray! Hooray!
- Yeah, woohoo!

(sighing)

- Hey, what's wrong,
my fuzzy guy?

- I want to do a trick...
but I can't.

- What kind of trick?
- Miss Elaina did a cartwheel
for her trick,

so I wanted to do a cartwheel
for my trick, too...

but I can't do it
like Miss Elaina.

- You don't have to do
the same trick as Miss Elaina.

- I don't?
- Nope!

♪ You can do things
your own way ♪

♪ The Daniel way! ♪

- ♪ I can do things my own way ♪

♪ The Daniel way! ♪

So my trick doesn't have
to be a cartwheel?

- That's right. There are lots
of different ways to do things.

(giggling)
- Trick?! Again?!

- My turn this time!
Ziggle, ziggle, ziggle...

it's the one-footed
Chrissie wiggle!

- I like your wiggle trick,
Chrissie!

- Hey, Chrissie
didn't do a cartwheel...

she did her own trick!
- That's right!

Now, what's a Daniel trick?
- Hmm...

The Daniel way!

I know what
trick I can do!

It's my... Tiger-tastic

Tiger Twirl. Ta-dah!

- I like that Daniel trick!

(giggling)
- Look, everyone!

I can do a trick the Daniel way!

Tiger... Twirrrrrrrrrl!

- Boomer-ific trick, Daniel!
- Yeah!

- I'm proud of you for doing it
your own way, Daniel.

- Did you like my trick?

What would YOUR trick be?

I liked doing it my own way.
- Prince Wednesday's turn

at the wheel!

- A rrrroyal spiiiiiiiiiiin!

What-is-it-what-is-it-
what-is-it?

- (all): The Ferris Wheel!

- Let's go to the ferris wheel!
- Come on! Let's go!

- And step right up to
the Fabulous Ferris Wheel!

- I'm so excited!
- Grr-ific!

- Everyone buckled up?
- I'm ready!
- Uh-huh!

- Seeee you soooon!
- Weeeeee!

Hiiii, down there!
- Look!

I see Teacher Harriet.
- And Mr. McFeely!

They look so small
from up here...

like little tiny ants!

Heyyy... Do you want
to make-believe with me?

Let's make believe
that everything is small,

at a teeny tiny carnival!

playing now. Come on!

- Ready?

You have to throooow
your bean bag and try to...

knock down the bottle. OK?
- Got it!

- Yuppers!

- Ready...

One-handed zoom!

It's wobbling!

- Daniel, you almost got it!
I'm gonna try the Daniel way.

One-handed zoom!

(sighing)
I didn't get it.

- You try, Chrissie!
- OK!

- What are you doing, Chrissie?

- Oh! I can throw better
when I'm sitting down.

♪ I can do things my own way ♪

♪ The Chrissie way! ♪

Wooosh!

Yahoo!

- Boomer-ific!
- Yeah, Chrissie!
- Chrissie, you did it!

- That was fun!
- OK, I'm gonna try
Chrissie's way.

- Wooosh!

That didn't work either!
(sighing)

I can't do it! I can't knock
a bottle down like you!

- It's OK, Prince Wednesday.
You can try again.

- I don't want to! I already
tried. I tried to throw like you

AND I tried to throw like
Chrissie too! It didn't work!

- But did you try
to throw it YOUR way?

- My way?

- ♪ You can do things
your own way ♪

♪ The Prince Wednesday way ♪

- ♪ I can do things my own way ♪

Hmm... what is my way to throw?

Um... I know!

I can throw like THIS, with two
hands. The Prince Wednesday way!

Shoo-be-do-be-doo!

- Wow!
- Oh yes!

- Yay, hooray!
That one was SO close!

It helped doing it my OWN way!

And I did it my OWN way!
- Boomer-ific!

- Thanks for playing with us
at the carnival today.

You can play your own way too.

Ugga Mugga!

Let's go see some neighbors!

- Hi, I'm Janae and I'm going
to learn how to make something
really delicious.

This is my friend, Chef Bill.
What are we making, Chef?

- We're making burritos!
A burrito is a whole meal
wrapped up inside a tortilla.

And I have a whole bunch
of ingredients here

for us to choose from for
the burritos. Are you ready?

- Yes!
- Alright, this is our tortilla.

Now, I always start
with a little bit of rice.

This is some roast chicken
right here. Do you want to put
a couple pieces on that?

I'm gonna go different than you.
I'm gonna throw a little beef
in mine.

You like stinky cheese?
Would you like to smell it?

Does it smell stinky?
- Yeah, it does.

- Alright, I'm gonna put some
stinky cheese on mine.
- I'm not.

I'm gonna put
this kind of cheese.
- Alright! Next is salsa.

- This is good!
- I'm gonna go
with the spicy one

because everybody's burrito
is their own burrito.

The last thing for the burritos
is some guacamole.

Would you like to taste
some avocado?
- Yes!

- Alright.

- I don't like avocados. Meh!

- Are you ready to roll? Grab
the tortilla with your hands.

Bring it up and over.
Smoosh it back a little bit.

Is that your first burrito roll?

- Yes.
- Awesome! Alright,
ready? Here we go!

- This is good.

Thank you, Chef Bill. Thanks
for coming with me, Neighbor.

Bye!

- I like these visits with you.

(laughing)

Zoom zoom!

- That way!

- Hi, Neighbor! We're playing
at Miss Elaina's house today!

Come play with us!
- Here I coooooome!

- Here I come tooooooo!

(giggling)
- And Jodi's here too!

- Daniel, did you see
how far Miss Elaina can jump?

Oh, I wish I could jump
just like you.

- What should we play now?

- Hmm, Miss Elaina,
what do YOU want to play?
- Um...

I want to play... school!
- Good idea!

I want to play school too.
Just like Miss Elaina.

I want to be just like her!
(giggling)

- OK. I'll be the teacher.
- I'll be the teacher too!

- Two teachers?
- Yes, I want to be a teacher,

just like Miss Elaina.
- OK, I'll be in your class.

Astrid and Tige-y and Benji
can be in your class, too!

- OK, class, I'm your Teacher.

Teacher... Sneaker!

(giggling)
- Teacher Sneaker!

My name is
Teacher Sneaker too!

- But Jodi,
that's my teacher name!

- I know, but I like it.
It's so silly.

- Well... it is silly, so OK.

Class, let's do circle time!

- Class, let's do
circle time!

- Come on over for circle time!

- Come on over!
- Teacher Sneaker...

and other Teacher Sneaker,
what are we doing today?

- Well, let's go around
in the circle and share
something you like.

- Yes, class, share
something that you like.

- OK. My name is Daniel,
and I like... Trolley!

Ding, ding! Ding, ding!
Ding, ding!

- OK. My turn. My name
is Teacher Sneaker

and I like... to fly backwards
in outer space!

Backwards blast off!

WHOOOOSH! Whooosh!

- Your turn, Jodi! I mean,
other Teacher Sneaker!

- OK! My name is Teacher
Sneaker, and I like...

to fly backwards in outer space
too! Backwards blast off!

Whoooosh!
- What? But that's what I said!

Heeeey... Jodi! STOP!
- What?

- You keep saying
what I'm saying!

- But, I'm just
blasting off... backwards.

- And you keep doing
what I'm doing!

- Whoa! What is going on
over here? I can help
if you tell me what's wrong.

- We're playing school and I
wanted to be the teacher...
and so did Jodi.

And Jodi has the same teacher
name as me and she said she
likes flying backwards like me

and she's blasting off like me!
And I do not like it!

- You don't like it?
- No.

- But...
I like you... a lot.

So I wanted to do
what you were doing.

- I like you, too.

But I like when you do
what you think of.

- Playing with a friend who has
their own ideas makes playing
together even more fun!

- That's right. You are

to play school is...

Teacher Fishie Wishie

in her underwater school!

- OK, class. Now
it's outside time!

- Grr-ific! Can we play
underwater tag?

- Sure! Ready, Teacher Sneaker?
- Yes!

Except now, I'm an octopus!

- OK, Fishie Wishie
is coming to tag you!

Watch out, here comes
Fishie Wishie!

- I'm gonna tag you
with my octopus arms!

- Underwater tag is so silly!

I wonder what other games
fishies play?
