She includes other ways to use the bottle caps for math too. But seriously...unable to purchase a movable alphabet? Keep your lids & ask family & friends to also. What's cheaper than a colored permanent maker in red & blue? Write them on the inside so they stay protected.
We're vegan so I never have caps that are large enough to write in (our coconut & almond milk lids are only about a half inch in diameter so I'm going to ask friends for their cows' milk lids.) I've a few ideas for secret words/messages to decode. Kinda like Hangman but with bottle caps & no one is hung. Seriously, that game always freaks me out.
(Sorry about the picture. My scanner/printer just stopped the other day with a check User Guide message. I can't find the user guide! And I just bought another 200 bucks worth of ink! Shesh..I should have just bought another printer.)
So anyways, on our version the red is the next step. You can give fewer chances by decreasing the number of petals, removing the sun/leaves...whatever. Hope you enjoy playing!
And, be sure to check out teach mama. I always enjoy reading her posts. I like her blog name...teach mama...it reminds me everytime I read her stuff to stay humble & remember that the kids are the teachers in this life. My job is to be the muscle & keep the big n bads from interferring. Which is really odd to see it in effect cause normally I am the big n bads. There are definite threads of Shakespeare here. ;)

WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the kind words and props for the alphabet letter lid post.
It really means so much, especially when I often think that only my parents and sisters read my blog. :*)
Cheers, friend.
