Activities to Make, Play and Eat with Your Child
By Marie-Helen Goyetche
This activity will be for the older preschooler due to the toothpick and small pieces.
You'll need:
Cardboard (piece of 3-inch by 3-inch)
A round toothpick
Ruler
Washable markers
Take your ruler and make two diagonal lines across the square to make an "X." Write the Hebrew letters: Nun, Gimel, Heh and Shin in each triangle. Prick the middle of the cardboard with the toothpick and place the cardboard halfway down the toothpick. It will look like a top.
Each player gets 10 pennies, beans, raisins or pieces of candy. Each player then puts one of his pieces in the middle and one spins the Dreidel. Follow the indications on the Dreidel. 
Nun: Don't do anything and the next player spins the Dreidel.
Gimel: Take everything in the middle and add to your pile.
Heh: Take half of the pieces in the middle
Shin: Add two pieces from your pile.
The game is over when there are no pieces remaining in the middle.
