Often I have kids who get B and G confused. To help with this:
For fingerings, I tell them "Pinch the B before he stings you." That helps them remember the "pinch" position for B. As far as telling B and G apart on the staff, I tell them to imagine the staff as a set of 5 power lines. The "B"ee is sitting in the middle of the power lines.
