DREIDLE SONG
I have a little dreidle
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidle I shall play
Chorus:
Oh Dreidle, Dreidle, Dreidle I made it out of clay Oh Dreidle, Dreidle, Dreidle Then Dreidle I shall play
Dreidle, is a traditional game played by children during Hanukkah. A dreidel is a 4-sided top with The Hebrew letters nun, gimmel, hey, and shin on its sides. The game is best played in groups of 4-6.
To start, each player gets an equal number of tokens (pennies, nuts, candies, etc.) and puts a token into the pot. Then each player takes a turn spinning the dreidle. If it lands on Nun the player receives nothing, if Gimmel the player takes the pot, if Hey the player takes half of the pot and if Shin the player puts a token into the pot. Each time the pot is emptied, everyone adds a token and the game continues until one player holds all the pieces.
