Hanukkah Celebration Resources

Hanukkah is referred to as the “Festival of Lights” and is an important time to gather family and friends to celebrate together. If your celebration includes kids this year, here are some traditions and activities to enjoy as you mark this special time of year:

• For a very good list of Hanukkah crafts for the kids to make, check out Kaboose’s listing.
• Play the Dreidel Game.
• Tell the Hanukkah story
• Play “Pin the Candle on the Menorah.”
• Enjoy making Potato Latkes and Doughnuts together.
• Giving out chocolate coins and gifts each night of Hanukkah and you want to be environmentally friendly with your gift wrapping? Check out these ideas at Wrap It Up for Chanukah.
• Check out these coloring printables for your Hanukkah kids’ parties.  Or how about these fun duckies (from Amazon).

• Play “Hide the Chocolate Gelt.” Before the kids depart the party, tell them there is a surprise for each of them in the party area, although they will have to go hunting for their treasures.
• Check out Amazon, for a surprisingly wide selection of Hanukkah games, books, toys and decorations.

It’s a special time of fun and celebration. Enjoy!
