I used to say to my pupils that in order to pronounce the words 
properly, I would allow them as a privilege to stick their tongues out 
at me. Because that will get the "th" sound correct; it then only 
remains to know whether to use this unvoiced or voiced and it certainly 
avoids the "z" or "d" which often betrays a continental speaker.

I'm cracking up reading this as that's about how I've been getting my daughter to say the 'th'.  I told her saying that is the one occasion where she is allowed to stick out her tongue.  
 
Of course, she's now lost one of her two front teeth with the other one dangerously loose so making the 'th' sound isn't exactly easy for her.  LOL
