Poetry Friday – The Dreidel Song

Posted by shelburns on December 12, 2008




Here is another poem that I used in the classroom.  I always tried to teach my kids about Holidays around the World during this time of year.  One of the holidays was always Hanukkah, so this poem is appropriate.

The    Dreidel    Song

 

           I    have    a    little    dreidel.           

 I    made    it    out    of    clay.

And    when    it’s    dry    and    ready,

 My    dreidel    I    will    play.

 Dreidel,    dreidel,    dreidel,

  I    made    it    out    of    clay.

  Dreidel,    dreidel,    dreidel,

 My    dreidel    I    will    play.

Enjoy the rest of today’s poems at the Poetry Round-Up over at Wild Rose Reader.

    This classic has been around forever; I sang it when I was in elementary school, and now my kids have learned it. I don’t know anyone who has actually made a dreidel out of clay, though :)
