The Hogwarts Hotspurs Dreidel Hanukkah PV Clo

   
“Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay.
And when it’s dry and ready,
Oh dreidel I shall play!”

Private to The Hogwarts Hotspurs
Serena Towers, Eris Fawley, Rhea Bishop, Reid Kovacs

Students were instructed to sit down at any one of the tables. On the table was a set of instructions for the group and a single dreidel. "Okay, let's begin, shall we?" Hjørdis walked up to the group, observing the children that were on there. She quirked an eyebrow a little as her gaze fell on the young boy. She did not know the girls but the boy was one she recognised. This game may be too complex for him. Silently, she slid the instruction sheet over to him, implying that he ought to read it as she was questioning his intellect. In reality, she did not think he would understand such a simple game but that was neither there nor there. She greeted the rest of the group before explaining out aloud some further instructions, "You'll all be given some gelt - otherwise known as these chocolate coins - and you have to follow the instructions there." She paused to point towards the set of instructions that they could refer to if they got confused, "Roll the dreidel and then match the symbol on it to the action." She explained, as the dreidel had four different Hebrew letters on it.

She gave each player their gelt, not quite trusting them to not eat them all if she left it on the table for them in the first place. "If you run out of pieces, you are out. When one person has won everything, the game will end. The winner will get to keep the gelt," Hjørdis explained, showing them all a chocolate coin when she said 'gelt' to make sure they knew what she meant because sometimes, children had to be told twice. The winner got chocolate.

"If you need anything, I'm around." With that, Hjørdis moved on to the next group and stayed in the room, watching everyone get started with the game.
