Hanukkah Games
 

Hanukkah Party Games
Hanukkah games need to be short little fillers since your guests will be busy watching the game, eating and drinking.  So here are some quick but fun 

Hanukkah Game Ideas:

Spin the Dreidel
The most popular game during Hanukkah is a game of chance – the spinning of the Dreidel. Each Hebrew letter on the four-sided top/Dreidel stands for a game action:

N (nun) = Get nothing from the kitty. G (gimel) = Get everything from the kitty. H (he) = Get half of the kitty. S (shin) = Put half the money in the kitty.

If you don't have a Dreidel already, you can purchase one at a party goods supply or toy store (they're also fun to make.) Have your guests bring pennies, gold-foil-wrapped chocolate coins, or candies to put in the kitty, or distribute these items yourself during game time. Have everyone place a penny or candy into the kitty and then take turns spinning the Dreidel to determine who wins and who loses. At the end of the game, have everyone count their winnings, and use the pennies and candies to purchase small, wrapped gifts that you've prepared ahead of time.

Pin the Shamah or Shield
Cut out construction paper figures of a Hanukkah a Maccabee, a Shamash and a Shield. Blindfold one child at a time and have him try to pin the Shamash on the Hanukkah or the shield on the Maccabee.

Hanukkah Unscramble
Give players ten minutes to see how many of the following words they can unscramble: HNIHAUKAk, TAIATASHMT, NAMOHMEANS, LANDSEC, CEBMASCEA, UHJAD, EDDELRY, KELSTA, SUCHOINAT, YNASIRS

Hanukkah is the one holiday that people of non-Jewish decent recognize. Being that it is so close to Christmas, many people recognize it and associate it with that time. This of course has nothing to do with similarity in the holidays.

A Hanukkah event can include party games, songs, and activities.
