HANUKKAH GAME: DREIDLE

GRADES: K-12

The Hanukkah game of dreidle is played with a special "top"--a dreidle, that has four Hebrew letters on the side.

METHOD:

  1. Each student starts off with a pile of small items to "bet" with--they can be anything, pennies, candy, pretzels, etc.
  2. They all start by putting one item in the "pot", or "kitty" in the middle of their circle.
  3. Each time the spin lands on one of the sides, they do one of the following things:

    • NUN = nothing happens
    • GIMEL = they take everything in the pot
    • HAY = they take half of the pot
    • SHIN = they put in one
