Ask the students "if you wanna go to the beach what will take with you?" The students will say some examples you should take an umbrella etc. Then,model one example about the target language that they should say for example; We SHOULD take ......BECAUSE........ We shouldn't take ........because...... We must bring.........because............. We have to take.........because.......... We don't have to take..........because...........
