Dreidle Rules – words and music by Joanie Calem
Nun, Gimmel, Heh and Shin are the Hebrew letters that are on each
side of the dreidle. This song gives you the rules of the dreidle game. I
like to hand out cards with one letter on each card, help the children
identify which letter that they have, and then mix up the verses, with
the children twirling freely, and falling when their letter is called.
Spinning is great for children’s brain development!
In Hebrew, the letters look like this:
Shin ש
Heh ה
Gimmel ג
Nun נ

lyrics

Spin dreidle spin, spin so I will win!
Please dreidle fall, on gimmel and I’ll get all.
Spin dreidle spin, spin so I will win!
If you fall on heh, half the pot comes my way.
Spin dreidle spin, spin so I will win
If on nun you fall, nothing happens at all!
Spin dreidle spin, spin so I will win!
Please don’t fall on shin, ’cause then I have to put one in!
Spin dreidle spin, spin so I will win!
Spin around and dance, dreidle’s a game of chance!
