Thanks for the nice comment. No worksheets specifically on that, but if I remember correctly then there is some of that in the key word sentence transformations.

I am an online English teacher with mostly 1 to 1 classes. I would like to adapt some of your games into Powerpoint PPT’s. Is it okay with you? Peter

No problem at all, as long as they are only shared privately with your students, not shared publically online like this. Would be nice if you could include a little “Adapted from materials from https://tefltastic.wordpress.com” or similar somewhere on it.
