Do some examples of can / have to / can't / don't have to - emphasize key words 1) Show the vitamin bottle with childproof lid. -- I can open it. My children can't open it. How do you open it? You have to push down while turning. You don't have to squeeze it. You must push down and turn at the same time, or it won't open. Kids can't do it. Concept checking - Can kids open the bottle? Can you open the lid by just turning it? What is required to open the bottle? 2) Show school uniform. My son has to wear the uniform to school. He must wear a white or red shirt with a collar, with his school jumper, and dark trousers. He can't wear whatever he wants to school. All the kids have to wear the same thing.
