In celebration of Hanukah, we read the book " I Have A Little Dreidel" by Maxi Baum. After learning about the eight nights of Hanukah and the clay spinning top called a dreidel, we decieded to make our own dreidels and play for chocolate coins.
The children all enjoyed rolling the clay and shaping the driedels themselves. After the dreidels were ready, we played the game. We had put numbers on each side, instead of hebrew letters, to determine the amount of coins to be traded during the game. We had such fun spinning the dreidel and even more fun eating the chocolate coins we won!
