Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer Dm7 Em G7 C You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,

Dm7 Em G7 C Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,

Am E7 Am D7 G7 but do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? C G7 Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, Had a very shiny nose, C And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.

I Have a Little Dreidel D A7 I have a little dreidel I made it out of clay D And when it's dry and ready Then dreidel I shall play! A7 Chorus: Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel I made it out of clay D And when it's dry and ready Then dreidel I shall play! D A7 It has a lovely body With legs so short and thin D And when my dreidel's tired It drops and then I win! A7 Chorus: Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel I made it out of clay D And when it's dry and ready Then dreidel I shall play! D A7 My dreidel's always playful It loves to dance and spin D A happy game of dreidel Come play now, let's begin!

Dreidel is a spinning top game. It has four sides:

נ (Nun) ג (Gimel) ה (Hey) ש (Shin)

It is usually played with coins, chips, or gelt (chocolate coins). Collectively, these letters are interpreted as, "a great miracle happened there." Before beginning, each player starts with 10 or 15 coins, and then each player puts one in the pot. Before spinning the deridel, each player deposits a fixed proportion of the amount received into a kitty. One of the players spins the dreidel. The dreidel stops and lands with one of the symbols facing up and the appropriate action is taken:

Nun - nischt - "nothing" - the next player spins

Gimel - gantz - "all" - the player takes the entire pot

Hey - halb - "half" - the player takes half of the pot, rounding up if there is an odd number

Shin - shtel - "put in" - the player puts one or two in the pot

Each player is given a turn to spin the dreidel. The game may last until one person has won everything.
