I Had a Little Drediel......


Drediel is such a neat game!! We have all played it so many times but sometimes it takes a group of kids to truly remind you how such a simple game has so many wonderful opportunities for learning! We have been playing drediel all week and we have been using foam letters as gelt which has created a fun literacy twist to what is usually a counting exercise. Drediel teaches taking turns, identifying shapes, patience, good sportsmanship, counting, patterns, fine motor development  and more! The Tel Aviv kids are starting to really master which shape/symbol/color connects to which action and they understand that it's really special when it lands on Green Gimmel  because that means you get all of letters! Drediel is a fun game to play with siblings and friends throughout the week of Hanukkah! We hope you get the opportunity to play with your children and see for yourselves how much they know!
