Tip: discuss and enact the characters first. The king might be grumpy or jolly, the queen – gentle, mean or bossy, the ghost – glowing, whirling, see-through, shy. Discuss other potential castle inhabitants, including animals and mythical beasts. What would they be like? Chant and clap. Add a tune for a song!
