The Game
The four letters which appear on the four corners of a dreidel alude to the miracle of Hanukkah. Taken o ne after the other they spell out (from right to left):

Fairly innocent so far, you'll agree.

Now comes the more racy part, the point where the Maccabees' rededicated Temple and Caesar's Palace spin together, turning the historic commemoration into an opportunity to generate some cash!

To Play
1. Decide on an entry amount.
2. Each player spins in turn.
3. Depanding on what the dreidel lands on you either add to the pot, take away from it or pass to the next person:
     Nes - Nothing, a pass.
     Sham - Add a jelly bean, nut, coin, etc. to the pot.
     Haya - Get half the pot.
     Gadol - Get everything!
Dreidel Songs
I Have a Little Dreidel

I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play!

(Chorus)

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play!

It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
And when my dreidel's tired
It drops and then I win!

(Chorus)

My dreidel's always playful
It loves to dance and spin
A happy game of dreidel
Come play now, let's begin!

(Chorus)
Sivivon, sov, sov, sov

Sivivon, sov, sov, sov
Hanukkah, hu chag tov
Hanukkah, hu chag tov
Sivivon, sov, sov, sov!

Chag simcha hu la-am
Nes gadol haya sham
Nes gadol haya sham
Chag simcha hu la-am.

(Translation)
Dreidel, spin, spin, spin.
Hanukkah is a great holiday.
It is a celebration for our nation.
A great miracle happened there.
