THE BRAILLE DREIDLE

THE BRAIDEL GAME

Featuring The Braille Dreidle (Dreidel), 

this blindfolded game is a catalyst 

for dialogue about difference. 

It is intended to support 

conversation about equality, 

safety, and opportunity. 

The Braidel Game was introduced 

to the classroom in 2009 at Fern 

Hill Elementary School in 

Forest Grove, Oregon. 

With funding from the 

Southern Poverty Law Center, 

school counselor Marinda Peters 

incorporated The Braidel Game

into her anti-bullying curriculum.

The game is intended for 2nd grade 

through high school use.  While the 

subject matter may be serious, the 

delivery is a fun game where kids 

need to trust each other to play.
