Play the Dreidel Game
In order to play the dreidel game all you need is a dreidel and some [|gelt]. A dreidel is a four-sided spinning top with a Hebrew letter on each side. While gelt usually refers to chocolate coins wrapped in either gold or silver foil. Children of all ages can enjoy playing this game. Even the youngest baby will enjoy watching the dreidel as it spins on its axis, while older children will have no trouble getting excited about the prospect of winning chocolate coins. You can learn how to play the dreidel game at the bottom of [|this] article about the history of the dreidel: [|What is a Hanukkah Dreidel?] In addition to playing the dreidel spinning game, you can also have a dreidel "spin off." In order to play this game each person usually has their own dreidel (nothing fancy, small plastic dreidels will do) then they compete against each other to see whose dreidel spins the longest. Have people pair up and spin their dreidels, with the winner from each pair going to compete against another champion. Continue until you have only two spinners left. These two spinners will compete against each other, with the person whose dreidel spins the longest being declared the dreidel-spinning champion. (You can even find t-shirts with something akin to "World Champion Dreidel Spinner" to give out as prizes.)
