Hanukkah Resources for Kids

Two years ago, my son received a precious gift from a Jewish pen-pal. 

It was a package with two dreidels (a small four-sided spinning top with a Hebrew letter on each side), chocolate coins with the Hanukkah menorah engraved on it, erasers, a letter and other fun goodies.  

To this day, we still have the contents of the gift bag (except for the chocolates 😊 that are long gone!). We used the contents to learn more about the Hanukkah Jewish festival an eight-day celebration, and I also researched some helpful links, too.  

Today, I'm excited to share with you our favorite Hanukkah resources for kids. 



To learn about Hanukkah, it's important to learn about Israel first.  



  • JewishKids.Org has tons of games, songs, videos, and recipes to celebrate Hanukkah.  
  • Little Passports has Israel in their world subscription.  This package includes: a letter from Sam and Sophia, a wooden dreidel, an  activity sheet for the country, a picture from the country, a passport stamp, a map marker, and a sticker for the suitcase. 

  • YouTube videos are also a wonderful resource to learn about the The Story of Hanukkah.
