Hello
   Yesterday I taught must and must not in my class 3rd grade primary in the book there is a drawing about a park with sign there the things that they must/must not do and this question who is breaking the rules? So ss have to see and say sentences with must/must not then I tell them to think about the rules in the school and they said sentences they caught the idea.
    I hope that this idea can be useful for you
 Thanks

There are lots of great worksheets here on modal verbs.

See if any of them can help.

Like Bego�a, I also always use SIGNS to present MUST. It always gets the students speaking!

YOU CAN INTRODUCE THE MODAL MUST - THROGH SCHOOL RULES. THINK ABOUT SOME CLASSROOM RULES AND USE THE MODAL MUST

FOR EXAMPLE
1 YOU MUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK
2. YOU MUST NOT EAT DURING THE CLASS

Don �t forget that "must" has two negatives:
must not - forbidden
don �t have to - permitted not to, may not
 
You must not sleep during class.
You don �t have to go to school on Saturday.
