PASS THE DREIDEL: Have about 6 players per team. Have the teams line up side by side, either sitting or standing next to each other (they could hold hands if they wanted to). At one end of the line, place the six Dreidels. With their left hand have each player grab the right wrist of the person to their right. On the mark, teams pass all the Dreidels down and back again. If a bow falls, players must retrieve while still holding on. The chain must not be broken! 6 objects for each team. The winner is the team that passes 6 dreidels down and back first. A free printable Chanukkah party game can add more fun to your celebration.
