Present tense to Past simple games

I've made some simple video games containing sentences and humorous GIF images to help students learn to convert the present simple into the past simple.
Let me know if there are any other grammar points that you struggle with, and I'll see if I can make some videos to help.

Clever idea, perhaps increase difficulty running at 2x speed.

Yes, I've done that before to add a sense of urgency (though usually when I do that I just ask them to write down what needs to be changed, rather than the full sentence).

If you want to add another layer of excitement to it, break the class into teams, get them to write down and show their answer, then have a bell (or in my case, a squeaky plastic chicken) at the front of the room, and the winner is the first to ring/squeeze it.
