Balloons fill long clear tubes in Party HQ.
Emily says, “IDA-MARIA, COME ON IN!”
Ida-Maria says, “HI, EMILY!”
Emily says, “HI!
IDA-MARIA, YOU HAVE
TO SHOW ME YOUR PARTY TRICK.”
Ida-Maria says, “WELL, I CAN DO SOME
CRAZY STUFF WITH MY TONGUE.”
Emily says, “LET'S SEE IT.”
Ida-Maria folds her tongue.
Emily says, “WHAT?!
THE ONLY THING I CAN DO
WITH MY TONGUE IS…”
Emily sticks out her tongue.
[Laughing]
Emily says, “GIVE US SOME HINTS TO WHAT
YOUR PARTY IS ALL ABOUT.”
Ida-Maria says, “WELL, THERE'S LOTS OF FOOD,
BEAUTIFUL MASKS,
AND WE PLAY LOTS OF GAMES!”
Emily says, “THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FUN TIME.
READY TO MEET
YOUR PARTY GUEST?”
Ida-Maria says, “YEAH!”
Emily says, “LET'S DO THIS!
ALRIGHT IDA-MARIA, TELL US SOME THINGS
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
IN YOUR PERFECT PARTY GUEST.”

FOR SOMEONE WHO'S FUN,
OUTGOING AND LOVES
TO EAT FOOD.”
Emily says, “I THINK WE CAN WORK WITH THAT.

Gabriel says, “I REALLY LOVE TO PARTY.”
Light flash in Party HQ.
Emily asks, “SO YOU'RE READY TO FIND OUT
WHAT PARTY YOU'RE GOING TO?”
Gabriel says, “YES!”
Emily says, “WELL, LET'S DO THIS.
WHEN I SAY GO,
IDA-MARIA,
YOU'RE GONNA
RUN OVER THERE
AND PUSH THAT BUTTON.
WHEN YOU DO,
IT'S GONNA RAIN BALLOONS,
AND IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!
YOU THINK YOU CAN
HANDLE THAT?”
Ida-Maria replies, “YEAH!”
Emily says, “LET'S GET TO IT.
THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!”
[Fast-paced music]
Ida-Maria rushes to a blue button and pushes it.
The button turns red. Blue, white, and purple
balloons fall from the ceiling of Party HQ.
[Kids gasping]
[Emily laughing]
Gabriel squeals, “WOO! WOO!”
Emily bats a white balloon.
Emily says, “REMEMBER, GABRIEL,
FIND THE GOLD BALLOONS
BECAUSE YOUR PARTY INVITE
IS IN THERE. OH!”
Gabriel exclaims, “THERE'S ONE…”
Ida-Maria says, “THERE'S ONE RIGHT THERE. SORRY!”
Emily asks, “IS THERE
ANYTHING IN THERE?”
Gabriel replies, “NO, NO.”
Emily says, “OK, YOU GOTTA
KEEP LOOKING!”
Gabriel proclaims “I FOUND IT!”
Gabriel pops a gold balloon with his foot.
He picks up a piece of paper.
Emily gasps.
Emily asks, “WHAT DOES IT SAY?”
Gabriel answers, "YOU'RE INVITED
TO CARNIVAL."
Ida-Maria says, “IT'S
CARNEVALE!”
A graphic reads, “Carnevale”
Emily asks, “GABRIEL, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO A CARNEVALE
PARTY BEFORE?”
Gabriel answers, “NO.”
Emily continues, “ARE YOU EXCITED?”
Gabriel says, “I'M SUPER EXCITED!”
Emily says, “AND, IDA-MARIA, WHAT ARE YOU MOST
PUMPED TO SHARE WITH GABRIEL?”
Ida-Maria says, “I'M MOST EXCITED TO SHARE

WE WEAR WITH GABRIEL.”
Emily proclaims. “THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN!

ABOUT THE CELEBRATION?”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel say, “YEAH.”
Emily says, “LET'S GO!”
Gabriel says, “I'VE NEVER HEARD
OF CARNEVALE BEFORE,
SO THIS IS GONNA BE
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE.”
Emily says, “PARTY HQ DATABASE,
MORE INFO ON CARNEVALE,
PLEASE.”
The computer replies, “CARNEVALE IS A
VERY OLD TRADITION IN ITALY.
IT'S ONE BIG PARTY BEFORE THE
CHRISTIAN OBSERVANCE
OF LENT, 40 DAYS BEFORE EASTER.
CARNEVALE IS A COLOURFUL, JOYFUL
EVENT WHERE TASTY ITALIAN DISHES
ARE TRADITIONALLY PREPARED AND
ENJOYED BY EVERYONE. OTHER
FUN-FILLED ACTIVITIES INCLUDE
GONDOLA AND MASK PARADES.
IT'S CELEBRATED ALL OVER THE
WORLD, AND ABOUT THREE MILLION
VISITORS ARRIVE IN VENICE EVERY
YEAR TO ENJOY THE CARNEVALE
FESTIVAL.”
Emily says, “BEFORE I SEND YOU OFF,
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
THIS IS GONNA BE SPECTACULAR.
PARTY PHONES!”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel say, “THANK YOU!”
Emily says, “I'LL BE CALLING
'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT

PARTY ADVENTURE BEGINS THROUGH
THAT DOOR. BYE!”

TO FIND OUT I WAS GOING TO
A CARNEVALE PARTY.”
Ida-Maria says, “I'M EXCITED TO SHARE
MY PARTY WITH GABRIEL
BECAUSE I THINK
HE'LL REALLY LIKE IT.”
[Kids laughing]

shirt does a cartwheel. The kids do the floss dance
in unison.
A purple graphic reads, “Carnevale”
The boy in an orange shirt says, “CARNE... VALE?”
A dark-haired girl says, “NO, CARN-UH-VALE.”

[Buzzing]
A dark-haired girl proclaims, “I KNOW! C-A-R-A-
N-A-V...UH, WAIT.

V-A-L-E.”
[Ding]
The dark-haired boy cheers, “YES!”
The dark-haired girl says, “WHAT? HOW DID YOU
DO THAT?”
Emily plays drums in Party HQ.
Emily says, “PARTY HOST IDA-MARIA
AND HER SPECIAL GUEST GABRIEL
ARE HEADED TO A CARNEVALE
PARTY. IDA-MARIA KNOWS
ALL ABOUT THE EVENT,
BUT IT'S GABRIEL'S FIRST TIME.
THE CELEBRATION STARTS TOMORROW,
AND THERE'S STILL A LOT TO DO:
A SURPRISE, PREP AND CHALLENGE
BEFORE THE STYLISH PARTY BEGINS.”
A graphic reads, “Party Challenge”
Emily requests, “CALL IDA-MARIA'S PARTY PHONE.”

Emily replies, “HEY, GUYS!
ARE YOU READY TO ACT UP?”
Gabriel says. “OH, WE'LL BRING THE DRAMA.”
Emily says, “GREAT, 'CAUSE
YOU'RE GONNA BE LEARNING
A COMMÈDIA DELL'ARTE
PERFORMANCE WITH MY FRIEND
TEODORO.”
Gabriel replies, “CAN'T WAIT!”
Emily says, “BYE!”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel say, “BYE, EMILY!”
Ida-Maria says, “I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE
MY ITALIAN CULTURE WITH GABRIEL.”
Gabriel says, “I HAVE NEVER BEEN
TO A CARNEVALE PARTY BEFORE.
IDA-MARIA SAID IT WAS
REALLY FUN, SO THAT'S SOMETHING
I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO.”
Ornate theatre masks are laid on a table
Ida-Maria and Gabriel say, “HI, TEODORO!”
Teodoro says, “HEY, GUYS! HOW ARE YOU DOING?”
Gabriel replies, “GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?”
Teodoro asks, “ARE YOU READY TO LEARN
ABOUT COMMÈDIA DELL'ARTE, WHICH
IS A POPULAR FORM OF STREET THEATRE?
Ida-Maria says, “I LOVE, LOVE,
LOVE TO ACT!”
Teodoro asks, “YOU GUYS WANT TO PICK OUT
SOME COSTUMES?”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel say, “YEAH!”
Teodoro says, “ALRIGHT, LET'S DO IT!”
Gabriel says, “I REALLY LOVE ACTING,
SO I GOT REALLY EXCITED
FOR THIS CHALLENGE.”
Theodoro says, “THIS IS GREAT, GUYS. YOU'VE
CHOSEN TWO GREAT CHARACTERS.
THEY LOVE AND HATE
EACH OTHER, YEAH?
YOU'VE GOT MONEY,
YOU'VE GOT POWER.
HE'S YOUR SERVANT. YOU'RE ALWAYS
DEMANDING THINGS OF HIM.
ARLECCHINO, GIVE ME THIS!
ARLECCHINO, GIVE ME THAT!”
Ida-Maria says, “MY CHARACTER IS PANTALONE,
AND HE'S A VERY WEALTHY MAN
WHO LIKES TO TELL ARLECCHINO
WHAT TO DO.”
Gabriel says, “MY CHARACTER IS ARLECCHINO.
HE WAS THE SERVANT,
AND HE HAS TO DO A WHOLE BUNCH
OF SILLY TASKS.”
Theodoro says, “SO YOU'VE CHOSEN THE MASK,
YOU'VE GOT GREAT COSTUMES, WE'RE
GONNA GET READY TO PLAY. YEAH?”
Gabriel says, “TEODORO IS
A REALLY ENERGETIC TEACHER.”
Theodoro instructs, “COME ON!
WARM UP THOSE HANDS!”
Gabriel says, “HE WAS JUST REALLY INTO IT,
AND THAT'S WHAT MADE
THE EXPERIENCE REALLY FUN.”
Theodoro says, “AND TURN AROUND.
THERE YOU GO.”
Ida-Maria says, “TEODORO WAS
A VERY GOOD TEACHER.
HE WAS FILLED
WITH INFORMATION.”
Theodoro says, “THERE ARE 43 MUSCLES
ON YOUR FACE,
AND WE'RE GONNA
BRING THEM TO LIFE.”
Ida-Maria continues, “AND HE HELPED US
REALLY GET INTO CHARACTER.”
Theodoro asks, “YOU GOT
THE SCENARIO, RIGHT?”
Gabriel answers, “YEAH.”
Theodoro says, “YOU'VE BROUGHT HIM A HOT TEA,
AND YOU'VE SPILLED IT ON HIM.”
Ida-Maria screams, “WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!”
Gabriel replies, “I'M SO SORRY!
PLEASE FORGIVE ME!”
Ida-Maria says, “GABRIEL WAS VERY,
VERY GOOD AT ACTING,
AND HE REALLY SHOWED
THAT HE WAS REALLY SCARED.”
Gabriel acts, “I'M SO SORRY!”
Ida-Maria reacts, “WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!
I'M YOUR BOSS!”
Gabriel says, “IDA-MARIA WAS A GREAT CO-STAR.”
Ida-Maria says, “YOU CAN'T DO THIS
TO YOUR POWERFUL CAPTAIN!”
Gabriel says, “PLEASE FORGIVE ME.”
Ida-Maria says, “NO, NO, NO!
I CAN'T TRUST
YOU ANYMORE!
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!
WHY?! HAHA!”
Gabriel begs. “I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME. HEEHEEHEE!”
Gabriel asks, “CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME
ONE LAST CHANCE? WHAT COULD I DO?
Gabriel says, “IDA-MARIA'S CHARACTER WAS
THE ONE WHO GOT TO MAKE ME
DO ALL THOSE SILLY TASKS
AND BOSS ME AROUND.”
Ida-Maria says, “I FELT SO BAD!”

Ida-Maria says, “I DON'T GET NERVOUS
ON STAGE REALLY.
BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH,
I DON'T EVEN WANT
TO GET OFF THE STAGE.
I HAVE A PROBLEM DOING THAT.”
Theodoro asks, “HOW DO YOU FEEL?”
Ida-Maria answers, “IT FELT SO GOOD
TO PLAY PANTALONE.”
Theodoro says, “YEAH, I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY.”
Gabriel says, “ARLECCHINO WAS
REALLY TIRING.”
Theodoro agrees, “YEAH.”
Ida-Maria says, “HIGH FIVE!”
Gabriel says, “I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING
LIKE COMMÈDIA DELL'ARTE, SO THAT WAS
A FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE, AND I THOUGHT
IT WAS AMAZING.”

WHEN I HEARD THAT I WAS GONNA MAKE
A MASK. I JUST REALLY LOVE ART, IT'S LIKE
PROBABLY ONE OF MY MOST FAVOURITE
THINGS IN THE WORLD. SO, DID YOU MAKE
ALL OF THESE?”

YEAH, THEY'RE MADE OUT OF A VARIETY OF
MATERIALS.”

TO BE MAKING TODAY.”
Gabriel says, “OH, IT'S SO COOL!”
Clelia instructs, “SO TO START THE MASK,
I MADE A PATTERN.
SO I MEASURED MY PATTERN
TO MAKE SURE
THE EYEHOLES LINE UP,
AND THEN I TRACED IT
ONTO THIS MATERIAL
CARDBOARD, WHICH IS
WHAT WE'RE GONNA USE.”
Gabriel says, “IT FELT KIND OF LIKE WOOD,
BUT REALLY STICKY,
LIKE, UM...IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING
MAPLE SYRUP ONTO CARDBOARD
AND THEN LETTING IT DRY, BUT NOT ALL
THE WAY AND JUST PUT YOUR HAND ON IT.
JUST STICKY.”
Clelia says, “PERFECT!”
Gabriel says, “ IT WAS REALLY FUN
TO DESIGN THE MASK. IT HAD THIS LITTLE
JESTER VIBE.”
Clelia says, “THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC!”

I ENJOYED PAINTING THE MASK,
AND I JUST LOVE HOW THE COLOURS
IT LOOKS REALLY PRETTY.
I'M REALLY EXCITED TO
SHOW IDA-MARIA MY MASK.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO SEEING HER EXPRESSION
WHEN SHE SEES THE MASK.
THIS IS REALLY FUN!”

AMAZING IN THAT MASK AT HER PARTY.”

FOR THE PARTY TOMORROW
'CAUSE I WANT TO EXPERIENCE
SOMETHING NEW.”

Masks“.
Each of the four kids wears a colourful mask. One mask has
a large red feather, another has a long black beak.
[Kids laughing]
Emily plays drums at Party HQ.
Emily says, “WHILE GABRIEL'S OFF
GETTING DISGUISED,
IDA-MARIA WILL MAKE SURE THERE'S
"POLENTA" OF FOOD AT THE PARTY.”
A green and yellow graphic reads, “Party prep”
Emily says, “CALL IDA-MARIA'S PARTY PHONE.”
[Party phone ringing]
A sign above a culinary store reads, “FAEMA”
Ida-Maria says, “HI, EMILY!”
Emily responds, “HEY, IDA-MARIA! YOU'VE MADE
IT TO FAEMA CANADA'S KITCHEN.
WOULD YOU SAY YOU'RE A GOOD COOK?”
Ida-Maria responds, “I DO KNOW MY WAY
AROUND THE KITCHEN.”
Emily says, “PERFECT! BECAUSE YOUR MOM
IS HERE TO HELP YOU MAKE
MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA,
A SPECIAL ITALIAN DISH
FOR THE OCCASION.
I'LL CHECK IN WITH YOU LATER.”
Ida-Maria says, “BYE!”
Restaurant equipment and specialty food items
fill the shelves of Faema. In a kitchen,
Well used, pots and pans cover a stove.
Ida-Maria exclaims, “WOOHOO!”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “SO WHAT ARE WE
MAKING TODAY?”
Ida-Maria answers, “WE'RE MAKING
MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “THAT'S RIGHT. AND DO
YOU KNOW WHAT POLENTA IS IN ENGLISH?”
Ida-Maria answers, “IT'S CORNMEAL!”
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “IT'S CORNMEAL,
EXACTLY.”
Ida-Maria says, “IT WAS REALLY,
REALLY FUN TO MAKE
MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA
WITH MY MOM.”
Ida-Maria mom asks, “AND WHAT ARE THE
INGREDIENTS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE USING
TODAY? DO YOU KNOW?”
Ida-Maria answers, “WE'RE GONNA BE USING
CORNMEAL, SAUSAGE,
ROMANO CHEESE,
PARMESAN CHEESE,
PROVOLONE AND LARD.
THE FIRST STEP WE DID
WAS POUR SIX CUPS OF WATER
INTO A PAN AND LET IT BOIL.
ONCE IT WAS BOILED,
WE PUT THE CORNMEAL INSIDE
AND LET IT SIT
FOR A LITTLE BIT.
WHILE WE WERE WAITING,
WE WERE CUTTING UP THE SAUSAGES
AND THE CHEESE.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “THIS IS A TYPICAL DISH
AT CARNEVALE TIME BECAUSE IT IS VERY
HARDY AND BECAUSE WE GIVE UP MEAT FOR
LENT, THIS IS A PART OF YOUR FESTIVAL
THAT WE INDULGE IN THIS PRIOR TO THE 40
DAYS OF LENT.”
Ida-Maria says, “LENT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU GIVE UP, SO I'M GIVING UP POP
FOR LENT.”
Ida-Maria pours ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Ida-Maria says, “WE WAITED FOR THE
POLENTA TO BE READY. WHEN IT WAS READY,
WE DECIDED TO GET MESSY WITH OUR HANDS
AND DIP THE SAUSAGE IN THE CHEESE WITH
THE CORNMEAL. AND IT WAS KIND OF REALLY
GROSS, BUT I LOVE GETTING DIRTY, SO...
AND THEN AFTER, WE PUT IT IN THE OVEN FOR
45 MINUTES.”
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “SO, IDA-MARIA, WHILE OUR
POLENTA'S COOKING, WE'RE GONNA PLAY...
WHAT CHEESE IS THIS?”
Ida-Maria says, “I WAS IN A BLINDFOLD,
AND WE PLAYED THIS CHEESE GAME
TO SEE IF I KNEW MY ITALIAN CHEESE.”
A purple and white graphic reads, “What cheese is this?”
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “TAKE ONE. TRY IT.”
Ida-Maria eats a cube of cheese.
Ida-Maria says, “HMMM…”
Ida-Maria’s mother asks, “WHAT CHEESE IS THAT?”
Ida-Maria answers, “ROMANO.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “BRAVA.
TRY THAT ONE.”
Ida-Maria eats another cube of cheese.
Ida-Maria’s mother asks, “AND WHICH ONE'S THAT?”
Ida-Maria responds, “THAT'S EASY.
IT'S PARMESAN.”
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “LOOKING SHARP!
OK, LAST ONE. TRY THAT ONE.”
Ida-Maria tries a piece of cheese from a third pile.
She smells the cheese and looks disgusted
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “TRY IT.”
Ida-Maria eats the cheese
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “WHICH ONE'S THAT?”
Ida-Maria says, “IT'S PROVOLONE.”
Ida-Maria’s mother exclaims, “YOU ARE
A TRUE ITALIAN!”
Ida-Maria says, “SI!”
[Ida-Maria and her mom speak Italian]
Ida-Maria and her mom high five.
Ida-Maria says, “I'D SAY IT WAS PRETTY MUCH
A SUCCESS BECAUSE I GOT THEM ALL RIGHT.
THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW I'M A TRUE ITALIAN.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “TADA! YOUR FINAL
PRODUCT.”
Ida-Maria says, “FOR MY FIRST TIME MAKING IT,
IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
I THINK I DID A WONDERFUL JOB.
LET'S GO PREP FOR MY PARTY TOMORROW.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “LET'S GO!”
Ida-Maria says, “I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE
THE MEAL WITH MY GUEST GABRIEL
TOMORROW BECAUSE I THINK HE WON'T
STOP EATING IT. I THINK HE'S REALLY
GONNA LIKE IT.”
[Kids laughing]
A boy wearing a fedora does the floss dance. A girl
wearing a pink shirt does a cartwheel.
The girl in the red shirt says, “I WOULD GIVE UP MY
TOYS.”
The boy in the orange shirt says, “MY... VIDEOGAMES
BECAUSE I LOVE THEM.”
A brown-haired boy says, “I'LL GIVE UP SUSHI
'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE SUSHI, LIKE, EVERY DAY.”
The girl in the red shirt adds, “NO, I LOVE SUSHI!
I'M BEGGING YOU TO MAKE SUSHI
EVERY LUNCH AND DINNER.”
Emily plays drums at Party HQ.
Emily says, “GABRIEL AND IDA-MARIA
HAVE BEEN BUSY CRAFTING THEIR
COSTUMES AND COOKING UP A STORM,
BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE CARNEVALE
EVENT. THE PARTY CHALLENGE,
SURPRISE AND PREP ARE COMPLETE.
ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS CELEBRATE
IN STYLE. DON'T FORGET YOUR MASKS,
LET'S GO!”
Emily leaves Part HQ. A graphic reads, Party Time”
The sun shines on Ida-Maria’s family home. Inside,

FOR THE PARTY.”
Ida-Maria says, “OH, MY GOSH,
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!”
Gabriel says, “THANK YOU.”
Ida-Maria says, “MY BIGGEST SURPRISE WAS
WHEN GABRIEL WALKED IN
WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL MASK.
I REALLY LIKED IT,
IT WAS A VERY GOOD SURPRISE.”
Emily says, “ALRIGHT, I SEE THE HOUSE,
I'VE GOT MY MASK,
AND I AM SO READY
FOR THIS PARTY! COME ON!”
Kids wear masks.
Gabriel says, “MEETING IDA-MARIA'S FAMILY
WAS REALLY FUN. THEY WERE ALL
REALLY FUNNY TO TALK TO.”
Ida-Maria greets her guests.
[Doorbell ringing]
Ida-Maria beams, “HEY, EVERYONE, LOOK!
IT'S EMILY!”
Gabriel and the party guests say in unison, “HI, EMILY!”
Emily replies, “HI, EVERYONE.
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.”
Gabriel says, “WE'RE EXCITED
TO HAVE YOU TOO.”
Emily asks, “WELL, SHOULD WE PARTY?”
The guests answer, “YEAH!”
[Energetic music plays]
The party guests scatter. They collect the beads
placed throughout the house. A girl in a blue ball gown
grips a handful. Guests play party games.
[Kids laughing]
Gabriel says, “EMILY IS VERY ENERGETIC
AND ALWAYS READY TO PARTY.”
[Rock music plays]
The party guests model their costumes as they walk
down a hallway. Large gold and purple balloons
line their path.
Ida-Maria and Gabriel exclaim, “PARADE TIME!”
Gabriel says, “I LIKE HOW EVERYONE POSES,
AND THEY WERE ALL PRETTY FUNNY.”
Ida-Maria says, “AND I THOUGHT WE DID VERY WELL.
WALKING DOWN THE RUNWAY, IT FELT LIKE WE
WERE WALKING DOWN THE RED CARPET,
SO IT FELT REALLY, REALLY GOOD.”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel strike poses.
Emily says, “WOW! THIS LOOKS
LIKE A FEAST! OK, SO WHAT DO WE
HAVE HERE?”
Ida-Maria answers, “WE HAVE A LASAGNA,
A MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTE
THAT ME AND MY MOM MADE.
WE HAVE OUR MEATBALLS
OR RICE BALLS AND OUR PIZZA.”
Emily says, “EVERYTHING LOOKS
INCREDIBLE! WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE
ON THE TABLE?”
Ida-Maria responds, “PROBABLY
THE MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA.”
Emily asks, “BECAUSE YOU MADE IT?”
Ida-Maria says, “YES.”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel shout, “LET'S EAT!”
Food is served in a buffet style.
Ida-Maria scoops a large slice of polenta and
places it on a mask-themed paper plate.
Ida-Maria says, “UH, SURE, THANK YOU.
A party guest says, “YES, PLEASE.
AND THAT'S IT, THANK YOU.”
A parent replies, “YOU'RE WELCOME.”
Gabriel says, “THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!
I LOVED EVERY SINGLE BITE
OF EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF FOOD.
I WENT FOR, LIKE,
SECONDS ON EVERYTHING.”
Emily says, “OK, IT'S THE MOMENT
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR:
WE'RE GONNA TRY THE POLENTA
THAT YOU MADE. HERE WE GO!”
Ida-Maria asks, “DO YOU LIKE IT?”
Emily says, “YEAH, IT'S
REALLY GOOD!”
Gabriel adds, “I LOVED IT!
THE POLENTA WAS AWESOME!”

HARD FOR YOU?”
Gabriel responds, “NOT REALLY.”
[Emily laughs]

Emily says, “OK, WELL,
LET'S GO, COME ON!”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel shout, “HAPPY CARNEVALE!”

ARLECCHINO, GIVE ME THAT!”
Ida-Maria says, “MY CHARACTER IS PANTALONE,
AND HE'S A VERY WEALTHY MAN
WHO LIKES TO TELL ARLECCHINO
WHAT TO DO.”
Gabriel says, “MY CHARACTER IS ARLECCHINO.
HE WAS THE SERVANT,
AND HE HAS TO DO A WHOLE BUNCH
OF SILLY TASKS.”
Theodoro says, “SO YOU'VE CHOSEN THE MASK,
YOU'VE GOT GREAT COSTUMES, WE'RE
GONNA GET READY TO PLAY. YEAH?”
Gabriel says, “TEODORO IS
A REALLY ENERGETIC TEACHER.”
Theodoro instructs, “COME ON!
WARM UP THOSE HANDS!”
Gabriel says, “HE WAS JUST REALLY INTO IT,
AND THAT'S WHAT MADE
THE EXPERIENCE REALLY FUN.”
Theodoro says, “AND TURN AROUND.
THERE YOU GO.”
Ida-Maria says, “TEODORO WAS
A VERY GOOD TEACHER.
HE WAS FILLED
WITH INFORMATION.”
Theodoro says, “THERE ARE 43 MUSCLES
ON YOUR FACE,
AND WE'RE GONNA
BRING THEM TO LIFE.”
Ida-Maria continues, “AND HE HELPED US
REALLY GET INTO CHARACTER.”
Theodoro asks, “YOU GOT
THE SCENARIO, RIGHT?”
Gabriel answers, “YEAH.”
Theodoro says, “YOU'VE BROUGHT HIM A HOT TEA,
AND YOU'VE SPILLED IT ON HIM.”
Ida-Maria screams, “WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!”
Gabriel replies, “I'M SO SORRY!
PLEASE FORGIVE ME!”
Ida-Maria says, “GABRIEL WAS VERY,
VERY GOOD AT ACTING,
AND HE REALLY SHOWED
THAT HE WAS REALLY SCARED.”
Gabriel acts, “I'M SO SORRY!”

THINGS IN THE WORLD. SO, DID YOU MAKE

I MADE A PATTERN.
SO I MEASURED MY PATTERN
TO MAKE SURE
THE EYEHOLES LINE UP,
AND THEN I TRACED IT
ONTO THIS MATERIAL
CARDBOARD, WHICH IS
WHAT WE'RE GONNA USE.”
Gabriel says, “IT FELT KIND OF LIKE WOOD,
BUT REALLY STICKY,
LIKE, UM...IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING
MAPLE SYRUP ONTO CARDBOARD
AND THEN LETTING IT DRY, BUT NOT ALL
THE WAY AND JUST PUT YOUR HAND ON IT.
JUST STICKY.”
Clelia says, “PERFECT!”
Gabriel says, “ IT WAS REALLY FUN
TO DESIGN THE MASK. IT HAD THIS LITTLE
JESTER VIBE.”

I ENJOYED PAINTING THE MASK,
AND I JUST LOVE HOW THE COLOURS
IT LOOKS REALLY PRETTY.
I'M REALLY EXCITED TO
SHOW IDA-MARIA MY MASK.

GETTING DISGUISED,
IDA-MARIA WILL MAKE SURE THERE'S
"POLENTA" OF FOOD AT THE PARTY.”
A green and yellow graphic reads, “Party prep”
Emily says, “CALL IDA-MARIA'S PARTY PHONE.”
[Party phone ringing]
A sign above a culinary store reads, “FAEMA”
Ida-Maria says, “HI, EMILY!”
Emily responds, “HEY, IDA-MARIA! YOU'VE MADE
IT TO FAEMA CANADA'S KITCHEN.
WOULD YOU SAY YOU'RE A GOOD COOK?”
Ida-Maria responds, “I DO KNOW MY WAY
AROUND THE KITCHEN.”
Emily says, “PERFECT! BECAUSE YOUR MOM
IS HERE TO HELP YOU MAKE
MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA,
A SPECIAL ITALIAN DISH
FOR THE OCCASION.
I'LL CHECK IN WITH YOU LATER.”
Ida-Maria says, “BYE!”
Restaurant equipment and specialty food items
fill the shelves of Faema. In a kitchen,
Well used, pots and pans cover a stove.
Ida-Maria exclaims, “WOOHOO!”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “SO WHAT ARE WE
MAKING TODAY?”
Ida-Maria answers, “WE'RE MAKING
MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “THAT'S RIGHT. AND DO
YOU KNOW WHAT POLENTA IS IN ENGLISH?”
Ida-Maria answers, “IT'S CORNMEAL!”
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “IT'S CORNMEAL,
EXACTLY.”
Ida-Maria says, “IT WAS REALLY,
REALLY FUN TO MAKE
MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA
WITH MY MOM.”
Ida-Maria mom asks, “AND WHAT ARE THE
INGREDIENTS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE USING
TODAY? DO YOU KNOW?”
Ida-Maria answers, “WE'RE GONNA BE USING
CORNMEAL, SAUSAGE,
ROMANO CHEESE,
PARMESAN CHEESE,
PROVOLONE AND LARD.
THE FIRST STEP WE DID
WAS POUR SIX CUPS OF WATER
INTO A PAN AND LET IT BOIL.
ONCE IT WAS BOILED,
WE PUT THE CORNMEAL INSIDE
AND LET IT SIT
FOR A LITTLE BIT.
WHILE WE WERE WAITING,
WE WERE CUTTING UP THE SAUSAGES
AND THE CHEESE.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “THIS IS A TYPICAL DISH
AT CARNEVALE TIME BECAUSE IT IS VERY
HARDY AND BECAUSE WE GIVE UP MEAT FOR
LENT, THIS IS A PART OF YOUR FESTIVAL
THAT WE INDULGE IN THIS PRIOR TO THE 40
DAYS OF LENT.”
Ida-Maria says, “LENT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU GIVE UP, SO I'M GIVING UP POP
FOR LENT.”
Ida-Maria pours ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Ida-Maria says, “WE WAITED FOR THE
POLENTA TO BE READY. WHEN IT WAS READY,
WE DECIDED TO GET MESSY WITH OUR HANDS
AND DIP THE SAUSAGE IN THE CHEESE WITH
THE CORNMEAL. AND IT WAS KIND OF REALLY
GROSS, BUT I LOVE GETTING DIRTY, SO...
AND THEN AFTER, WE PUT IT IN THE OVEN FOR
45 MINUTES.”
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “SO, IDA-MARIA, WHILE OUR
POLENTA'S COOKING, WE'RE GONNA PLAY...
WHAT CHEESE IS THIS?”
Ida-Maria says, “I WAS IN A BLINDFOLD,
AND WE PLAYED THIS CHEESE GAME
TO SEE IF I KNEW MY ITALIAN CHEESE.”
A purple and white graphic reads, “What cheese is this?”
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “TAKE ONE. TRY IT.”
Ida-Maria eats a cube of cheese.
Ida-Maria says, “HMMM…”
Ida-Maria’s mother asks, “WHAT CHEESE IS THAT?”
Ida-Maria answers, “ROMANO.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “BRAVA.
TRY THAT ONE.”
Ida-Maria eats another cube of cheese.
Ida-Maria’s mother asks, “AND WHICH ONE'S THAT?”
Ida-Maria responds, “THAT'S EASY.
IT'S PARMESAN.”
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “LOOKING SHARP!
OK, LAST ONE. TRY THAT ONE.”
Ida-Maria tries a piece of cheese from a third pile.
She smells the cheese and looks disgusted
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “TRY IT.”
Ida-Maria eats the cheese
Ida-Maria’s mother says, “WHICH ONE'S THAT?”
Ida-Maria says, “IT'S PROVOLONE.”
Ida-Maria’s mother exclaims, “YOU ARE
A TRUE ITALIAN!”
Ida-Maria says, “SI!”
[Ida-Maria and her mom speak Italian]
Ida-Maria and her mom high five.
Ida-Maria says, “I'D SAY IT WAS PRETTY MUCH
A SUCCESS BECAUSE I GOT THEM ALL RIGHT.
THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW I'M A TRUE ITALIAN.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “TADA! YOUR FINAL
PRODUCT.”
Ida-Maria says, “FOR MY FIRST TIME MAKING IT,
IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
I THINK I DID A WONDERFUL JOB.
LET'S GO PREP FOR MY PARTY TOMORROW.”
Ida-Maria’s mom says, “LET'S GO!”
Ida-Maria says, “I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE
THE MEAL WITH MY GUEST GABRIEL
TOMORROW BECAUSE I THINK HE WON'T
STOP EATING IT. I THINK HE'S REALLY
GONNA LIKE IT.”

A boy wearing a fedora does the floss dance. A girl
wearing a pink shirt does a cartwheel.
The girl in the red shirt says, “I WOULD GIVE UP MY
TOYS.”
The boy in the orange shirt says, “MY... VIDEOGAMES
BECAUSE I LOVE THEM.”
A brown-haired boy says, “I'LL GIVE UP SUSHI
'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE SUSHI, LIKE, EVERY DAY.”
The girl in the red shirt adds, “NO, I LOVE SUSHI!
I'M BEGGING YOU TO MAKE SUSHI
EVERY LUNCH AND DINNER.”

Emily says, “GABRIEL AND IDA-MARIA
HAVE BEEN BUSY CRAFTING THEIR
COSTUMES AND COOKING UP A STORM,
BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE CARNEVALE
EVENT. THE PARTY CHALLENGE,
SURPRISE AND PREP ARE COMPLETE.
ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS CELEBRATE
IN STYLE. DON'T FORGET YOUR MASKS,
LET'S GO!”

The sun shines on Ida-Maria’s family home. Inside,
the comedy and tragedy masks hang from the wall.
Ida-Maria decorates the dinner table with beads,
masks, and balloons.

A LOT OF PEOPLE AT MY PARTY.”
Ida-Maria and her family cook in the kitchen.

FAMILY AND, OF COURSE, GABRIEL!
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S GONNA
WANT TO LEAVE TONIGHT.”

Ida-Maria shouts, “IT'S MY PARTY!”
Gabriel says, “IT'S PARTY TIME!”
Ida-Maria says, “HI, GABRIEL!”
Gabriel responds, “HI! I MADE A MASK
FOR THE PARTY.”
Ida-Maria says, “OH, MY GOSH,
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!”
Gabriel says, “THANK YOU.”
Ida-Maria says, “MY BIGGEST SURPRISE WAS
WHEN GABRIEL WALKED IN
WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL MASK.
I REALLY LIKED IT,
IT WAS A VERY GOOD SURPRISE.”
Emily says, “ALRIGHT, I SEE THE HOUSE,
I'VE GOT MY MASK,
AND I AM SO READY
FOR THIS PARTY! COME ON!”
Kids wear masks.

WAS REALLY FUN. THEY WERE ALL
REALLY FUNNY TO TALK TO.”

TO HAVE YOU TOO.”
Emily asks, “WELL, SHOULD WE PARTY?”
The guests answer, “YEAH!”
[Energetic music plays]
The party guests scatter. They collect the beads
placed throughout the house. A girl in a blue ball gown
grips a handful. Guests play party games.
[Kids laughing]
Gabriel says, “EMILY IS VERY ENERGETIC
AND ALWAYS READY TO PARTY.”
[Rock music plays]
The party guests model their costumes as they walk
down a hallway. Large gold and purple balloons
line their path.
Ida-Maria and Gabriel exclaim, “PARADE TIME!”
Gabriel says, “I LIKE HOW EVERYONE POSES,
AND THEY WERE ALL PRETTY FUNNY.”
Ida-Maria says, “AND I THOUGHT WE DID VERY WELL.
WALKING DOWN THE RUNWAY, IT FELT LIKE WE
WERE WALKING DOWN THE RED CARPET,
SO IT FELT REALLY, REALLY GOOD.”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel strike poses.
Emily says, “WOW! THIS LOOKS
LIKE A FEAST! OK, SO WHAT DO WE
HAVE HERE?”
Ida-Maria answers, “WE HAVE A LASAGNA,
A MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTE
THAT ME AND MY MOM MADE.
WE HAVE OUR MEATBALLS
OR RICE BALLS AND OUR PIZZA.”
Emily says, “EVERYTHING LOOKS
INCREDIBLE! WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE
ON THE TABLE?”
Ida-Maria responds, “PROBABLY
THE MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA.”
Emily asks, “BECAUSE YOU MADE IT?”
Ida-Maria says, “YES.”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel shout, “LET'S EAT!”
Food is served in a buffet style.
Ida-Maria scoops a large slice of polenta and
places it on a mask-themed paper plate.
Ida-Maria says, “UH, SURE, THANK YOU.
A party guest says, “YES, PLEASE.
AND THAT'S IT, THANK YOU.”
A parent replies, “YOU'RE WELCOME.”
Gabriel says, “THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!
I LOVED EVERY SINGLE BITE
OF EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF FOOD.
I WENT FOR, LIKE,
SECONDS ON EVERYTHING.”

GIVING UP FOR LENT?”
Gabriel answers, “WELL, I'M PROBABLY
JUST GONNA GIVE UP POP.”
Emily says, “OOOH! WILL THAT BE
HARD FOR YOU?”
Gabriel responds, “NOT REALLY.”
[Emily laughs]
Gabriel says, “I LEARNED THAT
CARNEVALE IS LIKE A BIG PARTY
BEFORE THE 40 DAYS OF LENT
THAT YOU GET TO CELEBRATE,
AND YOU GIVE UP ONE THING
FOR THE 40 DAYS.”
Ida-Maria ask, “CAN EVERYBODY MEET US
IN THE LIVING ROOM? ME AND GABRIEL
HAVE A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE
WE WANT TO SHOW YOU GUYS.”
[People exclaiming]
Emily says, “OHHH! OK, SHOULD WE ALL GO?
LET'S GO!”
Gabriel says, “I GOT REALLY NERVOUS
AND KIND OF LIKE, OH, WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE
GONNA THINK WHEN I PUT ON A MASK?"
Ida-Maria says, “I GOT REALLY, REALLY EXCITED.
I JUST COULDN'T WAIT
TO SHOW ALL MY FRIENDS
AND FAMILY MY PERFORMANCE
BECAUSE I KNOW
THEY'LL LOVE IT.
SO I WAS REALLY
EXCITED TO SEE THEIR REACTION.”
[Crowd cheering]
Party guests rattle noise-makers.
Ida-Maria says, “WELCOME TO OUR PERFORMANCE!
TODAY, I'LL BE PLAYING
PANTALONE, THE RICH MAN.”
Gabriel adds, “AND I'LL BE PLAYING
ARLECCHINO, HIS SERVANT.”
Ida-Maria says, “I LOVE COMMÈDIA DELL'ARTE.
I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD DO IT MORE
BECAUSE I REALLY ENJOY BEING,
LIKE, VERY BOSSY. IT'S MY THING NOW!”
Gabriel chuckles.
Ida-Maria acts.
Ida-Maria says, “GO GET ME
SOME TEA! NOW!”
Gabriel replies, “YEAH, YEAH.
WHOOP!”

BASED ON THEIR EXPRESSIONS,
THEY JUST LOVED IT AND DIDN'T
WANT TO STOP LAUGHING.”
Ida-Maria beams “THANK YOU.”
Emily says, “THAT WAS SO GOOD!”
Emily and the party guest applaud enthusiastically.
Ida-Maria says, “I THINK WE WERE
A PRETTY GOOD HIT.”
Gabriel adds, “I HAVE TO AGREE.”
Party guests mingle in their costumes. Colourful fruits
and pastries fill the dining room table. Ida-Maria cuts
a mask-themed cake.
Emily asks, “ARE YOU GUYS
ENJOYING THE PARTY?”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel say in unison, “YEAH!”
Emily asks, “GABRIEL, WHAT HAS BEEN
YOUR FAVOURITE PART SO FAR?”

AND, IDA-MARIA, HOW IS GABRIEL DOING
AS YOUR GUEST?”
Ida-Maria replies, “HE'S DOING SO GOOD.
I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU. AND HE REALLY
ACTED LIKE A TRUE ITALIAN.”

AT THE PARTY, I DON'T WANT IT TO END;
CAN WE CONTINUE PARTYING?”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel reply, “YEAH.”
Emily says, “OK, WELL,
LET'S GO, COME ON!”
Ida-Maria and Gabriel shout, “HAPPY CARNEVALE!”
[Electronic dance music]
A spinning ball lights up a room with bright colourful strobe
lights. Party guests raise their arms and jump up and down
on a dance floor. Emily wears a sparkling green and white
mask as she does the robot. Gabriel and Ida-Maria dance
together in sequence.
Ida-Maria says, “THE BEST PART WAS
PROBABLY DANCING AND GETTING TO TAKE
SELFIES WITH EMILY.”
Emily, Ida-Maria, and Gabriel squeeze close together as
they pose for a variety of selfies.
[Camera clicking]
Gabriel says, “THERE'S NO WORDS
TO EXPLAIN IT. JUST AWESOME!”
Ida-Maria says, “MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS
LIKE THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING
WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
I REALLY ENJOYED SHARING
MY CARNEVALE PARTY WITH
GABRIEL.
Emily exclaims, “WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PARTY!
THE MASKS, THE COSTUMES, THE COMMEDIA!
I LAUGHED, I CRIED AND I ATE. WHAT COULD
BE MORE FUN THAN CELEBRATING WITH NEW
CULTURES. AND NEW FRIENDS? EVERYONE
SHOULD TRY IT. NOW, I THINK I HAVE ROOM
FOR ONE MORE POLENTA. SEE YOU NEXT
