The dreidel is a spinning top which becomes a fun game for kids enjoying during Hanukkah. A typical dreidel has four sides, and each side has a Hebrew letter.
The letters stand for the words “Nes Gadol Haya Sham,” in the language of the Jewish. In english, you can understand it as”A great miracle happened there”.
Top of the Dreidel
Dreidels are usually colorful. You can use bright colors like blue, red, yellow, or purple for the body of the dreidel. You could even mix and match different colors for each side.
