Alice in Wonderland

Zoey has just read Alice in Wonderland. She and Lukas decide to create an Alice-in-Wonderland-like world filled with opposites, palindromes and tricky double negatives. With the help of their special guest, a psychologist and teacher who wrote a book in mirror writing, they try their hand at writing backwards just like the author of Alice in Wonderland sometimes did. Teams of kids match up pairs of palindromes in the game show. When Lukas programs Booboo Bot to say everything backwards, it sends Booboo Bot into a fit of hysterics. In the challenge, teams of kids have to follow commands filled with double negatives and opposites. It's not easy figuring out what to do, not do or not not do!
