Spot a dreidel on a table, a handmade craft or guests sharing Hanukkah memories in this optional family party bingo, played during social time rather than religious observance.
How to run this activity
Only offer this game during a host-approved social period when marking a bingo card is permitted. In communities observing Shabbat or Yom Tov restrictions, do not use a phone, writing or a printed tick-off card; schedule play for an appropriate later occasion. Do not mark prayers, blessings or religious observance. Participation is optional.
Facilitator guidance
Confirm the programme, religious and social boundaries, dietary needs and accessibility requirements with the organiser. Check all 24 cues against the actual gathering with the organiser. Choose one-line wins or smaller boards where needed.
Safety and inclusion
Keep participation optional and host-approved; do not score prayer, worship, sacred rites, religious learning performance, service duties or individual piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photos or disclosure of religious practice or fasting, and avoid culturally stereotyped assumptions. Provide accessible alternatives, allow participants to pass, and check local denominational, language and dietary practices. Where observance prohibits writing or electronics, printed tick-off cards are not a workaround; schedule play for another suitable occasion.
Cultural context
Hanukkah candle-lighting and prayers are not game cues. Check any overlapping Shabbat or holiday restrictions and agree suitable social timing with the organiser, as practices vary.
