Dreidel Game Rules - How to Play Dreidel
The dreidel is a 4-sided top of ancient origin.
The Hebrew letters on the side are nun, gimel, hay, and shin.
They form an acronym in Hebrew which means
"A great miracle happened there."
Dreidel, is a traditional game played by children
during the eight day Hanukkah celebration.
This game is best played in groups of 4-6. Each player gets an equal number of pennies, nuts, M&Ms, stones or whatever you wish to use.
Each player takes turns spinning the dreidel.
If it lands on:
Nun

Gimel

Hay

Shin

Each time the pot is emptied out, each player puts in a
playing piece (penny, nut, candy) and the game continues.

oooh, what a question!!! i'm hoping to find some of them in this 'dark time'...
i did indeed go to oxford - i read theology at lady margaret hall - i chose theology because the odds of getting in were better... it was the whole oxford experience i was after, not the degree per se :o)
Great question - I'm drawing a blank at the moment but maybe that means I need to live the question for awhile. I did the 7 random things tag finally. You can find it here. http://spiritdoll.blogspot.com/2007/12/random-me.html
Happy Hanukkah!
