Learn how to play and understand the meaning behind the dreidel symbols.
Each player starts off with an equal number of coins, nuts, M&Ms, stones or whatever you wish to use.
Each player takes turns spinning the dreidel. If it lands on:
• Nun - the player receives nothing, next player spins.
• Hey - the player takes half of the pot.
• Gimmel - the player takes the entire pot.
• Shin - the player puts one piece into the pot.
Each time the pot is emptied out, each player puts in a piece (coin, nut, candy) and the game continues.
