Could do it easier I would think:
ALTER TABLE t1 ENGINE = MyISAM
Yes, I had thought of that but I find it is safer if he copies the data
from an InnoDb table to a MyISAM table. That way he can abort the operation
without any fear of having his InnoDb table corrupted. With the Limit
clause he can also do it in sections and it gives him more control of the
operation. At least that's the way I'd do it.

Repeat for each table. Script it if it's more than a few tables.
Note that foreign keys will break if your InnoDB table uses them.
