There are some interesting suggestions in this tweet thread. I'm partial to "dots and lines" and "sticks and stones".

I like "Sticks and stones" if the goal is to minimize changing the presentation in the chapter. I use "balls and arrows" when teaching from this chapter to tell a more visual story about the counting process per https://blogs.adelaide.edu.au/maths-learning/2015/10/17/a-story-of-stars-and-bars/.
