[HANASHIR:10378] Re: Dreidle verses

[Rachel Gurevitz <gurevitzr...>]

 I definitely encourage getting groups together at religion school, etc. to 
create their own dreidle verses.  This year I'm putting together a family 
education morning  - A Magical Miracle Tour - and one of the activities is 
dreidle rhymes, but the groups are going to rap rather than sing them, and have 
to choreograph their group to 'perform' their verses when we string together 
all the groups' work as part of an end of morning celebration.  I'm hoping we 
have enough parents who attend the event to help create the rhymes with their 
children.  

We've had two very popular TV shows in the UK recently - 'Pop Stars' and 'Pop 
Idols' so we're setting up the rooms where these activities will take place as 
'recording studios' and asking 'Who has got what it takes to be a Maccabean Pop 
Star' (we thought that the 'pop idol' term, while current with an ongoing TV 
show here, might be less appropriate given the theme of Chanukah!)

If anyone else decides to try something like this it'd be great to hear how it 
goes (or perhaps you already have in previous years) - this is all a bit of an 
experiment in my new place of employment.
