How to play the dreidel game

The game begins with each player putting one piece of gelt (or whatever else you're playing with, like M&M's) into the middle. The youngest person spins the dreidel first, and turns proceed clockwise. Whenever the middle is empty, everyone puts one piece into the middle again to get the game started again. If you run out of pieces, you're out of the game!

Use the chart below to know what each result of spinning the dreidel means:
