Divide the class into teams of equal number. Each team sits in a row. The first student in each row is #1, the second #2, etc. Give all number ones a piece of paper. Then you pick a verb from the vocabulary that you are studying (eat) and all number ones write “I eat.” And then pass the paper to the student behind them. The second student writes ‘you eat” and passes the paper back. This continues until all subject pronouns and verb forms have been written. Then the last student passes the paper to the first student and the first student runs to the board to write all the answers on the board. The first team to get their answers on the board in the correct order and correctly conjugated (I eat, you eat, he eats, we eat, they eat) gets a point. If you have several students in class, you can expand the game by adding she and it as separate entries. Then the students shift places, so 1 moves to spot 2 etc. and the last student in each row becomes student 1. Continue until each student in the row has had a chance to write on the board.
