Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story – Hear the Dreidel Songs!
Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story, Book 1 in the Katie & Kimble
series, Kimble teaches Katie how to play dreidel.
Dreidel is a game that Jewish children play during Hanukah.
Dreidels
come in many sizes with many different designs and colors. The dreidel
pictured on the left is called a Noah's Ark dreidel because the
pictures tell the story of Noah's Ark. It was painted by an artist
named Yair Emanuel. It's got a little stand to hold it up.
The
dreidel on the right is really something amazing to see. It's very big
- 10 inches high, in fact – and it's a plush toy! I thought that was
pretty interesting. I don't suppose you can actually play dreidel with
such a big dreidel, but it might be comfy to keep on your bed!
In Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story,
you learn how to play dreidel at the same time that Kimble teaches
Katie how to play. However, you might not know how to pronounce the
letters on the dreidel. I wanted Katie & Kimble readers to be able
to hear how to say the Hebrew letters. So, I made up a list of two
different dreidel songs from iTunes so you
can hear free samples. In the first Dreidel Song, in the chorus, they
sing all the different letters on the dreidel.
Interesting Fact:
Hanukah is sometimes spelled in different ways! You might see it like
this, with 2 k's–Hanukkah–or you might see it like this, with a
c–Chanukah!
