FIVE LITTLE DREIDELS

IT’S HANUKKAH THE DREIDELS SHOUT, TIME FOR LOTS OF FUN.

 

COME AND JOIN THE PARTY.  START SPINNING EVERYONE.

 

FIVE BOBBLING DREIDELS BEGIN TO DANCE THE HORA.

 

ONE TAKES A TUMBLE AND FALLS BY THE MENORAH.

 

FOUR GIGGLING DREIDELS FIND CHOCOLATE GELT APPEALING.

 

ONE TAKES A HOP AND BOUNCES OFF THE CEILING.

 

THREE GLIDING DREIDELS SKATE ACCOSS THE FLOOR.

 

ONE GRABS A LATKE AND SLIDES RIGHT OUT THE DOOR.

 

TWO TWIRLING DREIDELS SEE DONUTS FILLED WITH JELLY.

 

ONE STOPS TO EAT AND FILLS ITS LITTLE BELLY.

 

ONE LONELY DREIDELE WANTS TO HAVE SOME FUN.

 

HE SEARCHES FOR HIS FRIENDS.  HE MISSES EVERYONE.

 

FIVE LITTLE DREIDELS FIND EACH OTHER AT LAST.

 

THEY ALL FORM A LINE AND START SPINNING VERY FAST.

AND AS THEY STOP THEIR TURNING, THEY STAND UP STRAIGHT AND TALL.

 

FIVE DREIDELS SHOUT, “HAPPY CHANUKAH TO ALL!”
