HOW TO PLAY DREIDEL

1. Every player puts an equal share of something – nuts, raisins, pennies, candy, Chanukah gelt – into the “pot” (center).

2. The first player spins the dreidel. Depending on which letter is showing when it lands, the player does the following:

Nun (Nisht) -- Neither get nor put; nothing

Gimel (Gantz) -- Get everything. Then start a new pot

Hey (Halb): Get half the pot

Shin (Shtel): Shell out; put more in the pot – whatever number was agreed to by the players at the beginning of the game
