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.
