discover things on their own.

i have had good luck with just explaining capure by surrounding and starting with 9 handicap stones on a 9x9 board (you can't win and that's a good thing). remove one handicap stone each time they win. you can explain things as they show up in the games (two eyes, ko, seki, etc). you can play many games in an hour, usually getting the handicap down to 3 or 4. this works surprisingly well.

thanks
