I wrote this song to help explain Hanukkah to very young children. I sing it after giving a brief and simple explanation of the story of Hanukkah. I use a small menorah, and actually light the candles as the song is sung and as the lyrics indicate. The children are spellbound by the lighting, and seem to sense the seriousness of the occasion. If you are unclear about the story of Hanukkah, visit one of these websites which give wonderful and simple explanations, as well as more crafts and activities.
