Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel!

One Hanukkah tradition preschoolers learned about us the dreidel game. This 4-sided top has a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet on each side. Nun, Gomel, He, and Shin is an acronym for “a great miracle happened here”, which refers to the 8 days the oil lasted. This proved to be an awesome opportunity to integrate math as the children used one to one correspondence to count out their gelt! We love learning about these special traditions children celebrate in other parts of the world.
