This Dreidel Game Instructions page clearly explains how to play the traditional Hanukkah dreidel game in a simple, student-friendly format. It outlines how players set up the pot, take turns spinning, and respond to each Hebrew letter, Nun, Gimel, Hay, and Shin. The visual chart makes it easy to remember what each letter means, while the step-by-step directions guide students through the rules.
