I like these ideas for helping kids match pitch: Especially that you should have the student sing a pitch and then you match their pitch (rather than the other way around). I like the apple-picking game in which the teacher sings a tone and a student picks an imaginary apple and simultaneously sings the teacher's pitch. Then the student picks a different apple and starts singing a different pitch. Then the teacher picks an apple and matches the student's pitch. In this manner they trade back and forth. I also have heard of playing a pitch on a piano and having a student sing it. If the pitch is incorrect, the teacher sings the pitch the student is singing and then slides up or down to the pitch that the teacher is asking them to sing on the piano. Then the student can slide to the correct pitch as well.
