Hanukkah Family Fun Draydel Game - Fun Friday by A Panama Mama

in fun •  7 years ago  (edited)

This week, we have been having fun as a family playing the Draydel Game. I do not know why it is spelled that way since it is normally spelled Dreidel. The kids light the menorah each night for Hanukkah and then play the dreidel game until someone wins!

Each person takes a turn spinning a dreidel and everyone calls out what it lands on. Then they have to pay or take pennies accordingly. It gets pretty intense when some of the other players are already out and it is down to two!

They are playing for pennies and then the winner gets to trade it in for a quarter. They start off with five pennies each. The winner is usually totally excited to get his prize at the end of the game.

There are tons of buying options on amazon or you can see how to make your own dreidel from this YouTube video:

Make sure you sing this song also from YouTube while playing with your dreidel!

Have you ever played with dreidels?

Thanks!

That looks like fun! I vaguely remember making a dreidel once, in a grade-school class or something like that. We learned the dreidel song, too. That was long ago. (but not in a galaxy far away)

Very nice. It's a lot of fun to play. My kids love it!

lol hahaha that game is absolutely new for me!! but i liked it! looks very funn

It is a lot of fun! Thanks for stopping by!

This game looks lovely @apanamamama

Thanks for stopping by. It's a great game. Lots of fun.

I have seen these many time but never knew how the game worked, thanks for the information :)

You're welcome. It really is a fun game. The kids just love it. They beg to play it each night of Hanukkah (and probably will after then too).

It’s great to see kids want to play a real game and jottan electronic one

So true! They desperately want to play those as well. Given the choice, video games might win. ;) They love dreidels because the winner gets to keep the coins ($.20-.25)! ;)

I think most kids do these days lol

We purchased our first dreidel this year, it's coming on Monday. My second girl keeps asking me about when we can play the 'faidel dame'. She's going to be very excited when they come! Thank you for sharing your beautiful dreidels! Happy Hannukah! @ironshield

Happy Hanukkah to you as well! :) So exciting for your girls to get a dreidel. They will have a lot of fun with it! :)
