Description
In the Milk Cap Game, The player and a student take turns hitting a stack of milk caps with a slammer. The player gets to answer one question for cap that lands face up during their turn.

The caps have four appearances, and they correlate to the four skill categories in the game: math (green), reading (red), time (yellow), and nature (blue). When the player clicks on a cap that they have turned over, they will have to answer a question from the cap's skill category. The player earns ten points for each correct answer.

Any caps that were not turned over put back in the stack. The activity ends when all of caps in the stack have been turned over.

Math and reading are colored in Christmas. Time and nature are colored in UCLA.

This activity doesn't have adjustable difficulty levels.
