Wikipedia: Dreidel
A dreidel, also dreidle or dreidl (/ˈdreɪdəl/ DRAY-dəl; Yiddish: דרײדל, romanized: dreydl, plural: dreydlech; Hebrew: סביבון, romanized: sevivon) is a four-sided spinning top, played during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. The dreidel is a Jewish variant on the teetotum, a gambling toy found in many European cultures.

A news channel just covered a story about a kid spinning 10 dreidels at once during Hannukkah
That was their top story.
