Introduce the holiday of Hanukkah and that it is a Jewish holiday. Talk about how it is not one day but eight and that it doesn't happen on the same days every year.

Introduce the dreidel and what each of the symbols say, mean historically, and how to play the game. This lesson was also done with other students to be able to learn about Hanukkah and play the game together.
