Even if your family doesn’t celebrate Hanukkah, this is a great way to help your kids learn about the traditions and vocabulary surrounding the Festival of Lights in a respectful and fun way.

What Is the Hanukkah A to Z Game?
The goal of this game is to come up with a Hanukkah-related word for every letter of the alphabet. Think of it like holiday-themed Scattergories with a twist!
Some letters will be easy (D is for Dreidel!) and others may take a little creativity. It’s a great way to build vocabulary and cultural awareness while keeping things light and fun.
How to Play
- Print one sheet per player or team.
- Set a timer (5–10 minutes works great).
- Everyone writes down a Hanukkah-related word for each letter.
- After time is up, compare answers. If you have a unique word that no one else wrote, you get a point!
- The person (or team) with the most points wins!
