Would you like to make a menorah to decorate the classroom? In the next presentation you have a few homemade menorah crafts. Which one is your favourite?
Or maybe you want to have some fun playing the dreidel game. Here you have a dreidel template and the instructions to play with it.
Instructions to play the dreidel game:
- Each player needs about 25 counters (or use however many it takes to make an even number for the number of kids that you have).
- Each player puts two counters in the middle of the circle, or in the ‘pot’.
- The first player spins the dreidel. When the dreidel stops, see which letter is on top and follow these directions:
- gimmel -player takes all counters in the pot
- nun - nothing happens- next player spins
- hay -player takes half of the counters in the pot
- shin -player must put one counter into the pot
Continue the game, going clockwise around the circle. If the pot is emptied, everyone puts another 2 counters in to create a new pot. Set a time limit for the game and the player with the most counters at the end wins!
