Daily Idea #218: Upside Down Dreidel

Now that our dreidels have come out, I have shown my kids my mad skills on spinning a dreidel upside down. For today’s daily idea, I am going to try and teach them (and you) how to do this— unless you already know, in which case— SPIN AWAY!

First, really look at how your thumb and forefinger spin the dreidel the right way. It’s almost like you are snapping your fingers without making a noise. Now, flip your hand so your fingers are facing the ceiling and do the same motion. The idea is that you will spin the dreidel with the same motion but as you spin and let go of the dreidel, you move your hand out of the way.
