My family is not Jewish but I love to celebrate holidays. In my opinion, holidays teach you a lot about a culture and what they believe. Besides holidays, I also love family traditions. I am in awe of the traditions that are passed down from one generation to the next in the Jewish faith. I feel that the Hannakuh season is a prime example. One fun tradition that I think anyone of any faith could enjoy is the Dreidel game. Below you will find lots of ways to play and learn about the Dreidel game. Enjoy!
Two different versions to play. Plus links to lots of information about the Origins of Dreidel
I Have a Little Dreidel (Click on link to hear tune)
I have a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidel I shall play!
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay;
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
Then dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely body,
With leg so short and thin,
And when it gets all tired,
It drops and then I win!
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
With leg so short and thin,
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
It drops and then I win!
I have a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidel I shall play!
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay;
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
Then dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely body,
With leg so short and thin,
And when it gets all tired,
It drops and then I win!
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
With leg so short and thin,
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
It drops and then I win!
