Hanukkah Songs for Children

Eight Little Candles
(to the tune of "Ten Little Indians")
One little, two little, three little candles,
Four little, five little, six little candles,
Seven little, eight little pretty candles,
Burning, oh so bright.

Hanukkah is Here
(to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell")
Oh, Hanukkah is here.
Oh, Hanukkah is here.
Light the candles, one by one.
Oh, Hanukkah is here.

Spin the dreidel, too.
Oh, spin the dreidel, too.
Spin the dreidel round and round,
For Hanukkah is here.

Eat some latkes next.
Eat some latkes next.
Eat some latkes -- yum, yum, yum --
For Hanukkah is here.

How Many Candles?
(to the tune of "Are You Sleeping?")
Suggestion: Divide class into two groups. Have one group sing the question. Have the second group sing the response.
How many candles,
How many candles
Do we light?
Do we light?
How many candles
Do we light
The [first] night?
The [first] night?

[One] little candle,
[One] little candle
We do light,
We do light.
[One] little candle
We do light
The [first] night,
The [first] night.

I'm a Little Dreidel
(to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
I'm a little dreidel,
Can't you see?
Spin my handle,
Play with me.
Spin me, spin me,
Round and round.
Watch me, watch me
As I fall down.

Chant:
      Nun gets nothing.
     Gimmel takes all.
     Shin loses one.
     Hay claims half.

Spinning, spinnning, spinning,
Oh so fast!
Spinning, spinnning, spinning,
Slower now.
Spinning, oh so slowly,
I fall down.
Did you win?
Let's play again!

Latkes Are Sizzling
(to the tune of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home")
Latkes are sizzling in the pan,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Latkes are sizzling in the pan,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Latkes are sizzling in the pan,
Turning into a crispy tan,
Now, sit down! It's time to eat our Hanukkah latkes!
