Rebus help

Does anyone know of a site that I can find "phrases" that use a combination of words that you add or subtract letters to, or combine with pictures? I'm looking for "phrases" or "sayings" like were used on the old Concentration game on TV. I find lots of "Wordies" that basically use letters only (ie. the word reading would be between 2 lines to make the phrase "reading between the lines" ) but I want to have kids build the words. Is this making sense? I've even looked for the old board games so I could get the phrases. There are books of these but I can't find them because I don't know what to call what I'm looking for. When I google "rebus" I get the "Wordie" things.
Thanks

So, I tried googling also... and came up with this link:

I hope this is what you were talking about.

Thanks for looking, but I already have a lot of those. What I'm looking for used to be rebuses, but now they do those wuzzle things as a rebus. What I'm looking for was generally a phrase For example: Picture of a 2 of clubs = "TOO" "LI" plus a picture of a cash register till = "LITTLE" Picture of a hand holding up two fingers = "TOO" Picture of a hen "lay"ing eggs plus "T" = "LATE" equals "Too little, too late." That's the example they give when I looked up Concentration games. I think they make little books of them, but I can't locate any so maybe it's an out-of-date thing. Oh, well.

If I knew what to call those, I might be able to find them. Thank again.
