Place several dreidels around the room for groups to play with. Give each
person 10 or 20 “tokens†(pennies, candies, etc). Each player puts a token
in the center “pot†when he joins the game. Each side of the dreidel has a
different symbol that tells the player what to do. Players spin the dreidel and
do what it says to do when it stops. Play for a specified length of time and
everyone takes home their tokens.
Nun – player collects nothing
Gimmel - player gets it all from the pot.
Hey - player collects half of the pot.
Shin - player sets one token in the pot
Players keep their “tokens†when it is time to start the meeting. The player with the fewest gets the tokens left in the middle
.
