What printable works for kids who like to color?

Esther O Design offers a free Dreidel Doodle game where players color Nun, Gimel, Hey and Shin, then spin for play in the Dreidel Doodle printable. Children can color each face before the game. The finished sheet stays on the table as a letter reference.

Print one sheet per player for coloring time. Keep one finished copy flat for reading the letters during spins.

Where can you print the rules?

Chabad.org publishes a free How to Play Dreidel PDF that shows the four letters and their pot actions in the How to Play Dreidel PDF. Keep a copy beside the pot. It lets new players check each result without pausing the game.

Print in black and white to save ink. One page is enough for a small table.

How does a round work?

Chabad.org describes the setup as equal tokens, one token anted, and spins taken in turn. In that Chabad.org guide, Nun takes nothing, Gimel takes all, Hey takes half and Shin adds one in the dreidel rules guide. Give each player the same small stack.

Continue for a set number of rounds or until you pause for candles and snacks.

How do you keep a paper dreidel usable?

UK Scouts notes home-printed paper dreidels are fragile in its dreidel activity guide. Print directly onto card, or mount paper onto thin card such as a cereal box before cutting. Cut neatly, fold on the lines, and glue the tabs.

Then use this quick prep:

• Print the template single-sided.
• Cut around the outer shape.
• Fold, glue, and let dry fully.
