For all of our friends who celebrate Hanukkah, I found a few children's pieces:

I light my own menorah.
I wattch the candles blaze.
I say the Hanukkah blessings.
I celebrate eight miracle days.

I sing the hymns of freedom.
I eat latke for a treat.
I spin the dreidel and try to win
Nuts or raisins so sweet.

I exchange presents with my relatives.
Little gifts that say we care--
our smiles shine like the candles,
And our happiness we share.

I light my own menorah.
I watch the candles blaze.
I'm celebrating Hanukkah
In lots of loving ways!

Hanukkah Time

Candles kindling,
Children singing.
Hanukkah is
Just beginning.

Dreidels spinning,
Apples simmering,
Latke sizzling,
Pennies shimmering.

Families gathering,
Voices ringing,
Hugging, kissing,
Children grinning.

Gift unwrapping,
Clapping this rhyme.
Hanukkah is
A miracle time!

The Hanukkah Invitation
Hanukkah is so exciting!
Ten friends I'll be delighting
As they watch the candle lighting,
And hear the blessings said.

Hanukkah is so exciting!
Twenty I ended up inviting.
They played dreidel without fighting,
And had a lot of fun.
But my pennies and nuts they won!

And they much too much biting
Into foods that looked inviting.
All Mom's honey treats they ate,
And they said her latke tasted great.
Then they gained a lot of weight
Eating doughnuts off my plate!

Next Hanukkah will be less exciting,
Only three friends I'm inviting.
But the beautiful miracle that we'll see
Is some food that's left for me!

Let's light the menorah
For the Festival of Lights.
One candle every evening
For eight great, joyous nights.
latkes, games, and sharing,
Happiness and cheer.
Let's light the menorah
For Hanukkah is here.

Eight Little Candles
(Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Eight little candles in a row,
Waiting to join the holiday glow.
We will light them one by one,
until all eight have joined the fun.
Eight little candles burning bright.
Filling the world with holiday light.

Happy Hanukkah!!
