Dreidel Game
Our students love this game!! Practice spinning the dreidel and working on counting. Some children need help reading the directions, so it is best to play this with an older child or adult, but everyone enjoys playing! (Source: we found this set at Target a few years ago)

Some Other Ideas!
DIY Hanukiah
We made this Hanukiah (Hanukkah menorah) using simple wood turnings from the craft store and gluing them on to a wooden base. It cost just a couple of dollars. This would be an easy craft for older children.
A special snack! Latkes and Applesauce!
Yummm!!!
We’ve also been enjoying the song “Chanukah, Oh Chanukah”
and “The Dreidel Song”
