You are still hungry and are frightened the angry King will beat you. You took them because you were hungry but feel guilty, so haven't eaten them. Re-enter nervously as the Knave, admit you stole the tarts but say you are sorry. Explain that when you return carrying the bun tin, you are the knave. Tell them the Knave now wants to talk with them. Either way, explain that stealing is not acceptable, and the King will punish the thief. Do they know who took them? They may or may not tell you. Tell them that you are upset, and the King is angry because his tarts have been stolen. Put the crown on and arrive as the Queen. With the class in a standing circle this time, explain that the Queen is coming to see the servants again. Teacher in Role/Whole-class Improvisation If caught, another child makes an attempt. The ‘blind’ tin keeper points towards sounds. Children take turns at being the naughty knave, creeping up and trying to steal the tin without being heard.
