Spin the Dreidel
The most popular game during Hanukkah is a game of chance – the spinning of the Dreidel. Each Hebrew letter on the four-sided top/Dreidel stands for a game action:

bulletN (nun) = Get nothing from the kitty.
bulletG (gimel) = Get everything from the kitty.
bulletH (he) = Get half of the kitty.
bulletS (shin) = Put half the money in the kitty.

If you don't have a dreidel already, you can purchase one at a party goods supply or toy store (they're also fun to make.) Have your guests bring pennies, gold-foil-wrapped chocolate coins, or candies to put in the kitty, or distribute these items yourself during game time. Have everyone place a penny or candy into the kitty and then take turns spinning the Dreidel to determine who wins and who loses. At the end of the game, have everyone count their winnings, and use the pennies and candies to purchase small, wrapped gifts that you've prepared ahead of time.

Anagrams
In a given amount of time, see which player can come up with the most words formed from the letters in "Chanukah". Use pencils and paper; no letter may be used more times than it appears in "Chanukah". This game may be played with other Chanukah words as well.

Unscramble
Give players ten minutes to see how many of the following words they can unscramble: HNIHAUKAC, TAIATASHMT, NAMOHMEANS, LANDSEC, CEBMASCEA, UHJAD, EDDELRY, KELSTA, SUCHOINAT, YNASIRS

Pin the Shamah or Shield
Cut out construction paper figures of a Chanukiah a Maccabee, a Shamash and a Shield. Blindfold one child at a time and have him try to pin the Shamash on the Chanukiah or the shield on the Maccabee.
