Have you tried miming - one student mimes a sentence, the other �s have to guess what it is. Basically charades but with present continuous sentences!

 You could also try this: 1st student - "I �m brushing my teeth" A 2nd student says "He is brushing his teeth and I �m eating a pizza" A 3dr student "He �s brushing his teeth, she �s eating a pizza and I �m drinking water" and so on... When a student can �t remember all the sentences, you just start over again being the boy or girl  who failed the 1st one. Kids will pay attention and they �ll practise 1st and 3rd person singular.
 Some told me about a funny game to be used in X-Mas, which I did. Sorry I can �t remember who it was :=( and it could be used in this case too. Put a present (free-sugar gums for instance) inside a box and wrap it several times (I used 20 layers...) each time a kid is able to remember all the sentences, he/she unwrap a single layer and pass the box to the next one.
 I �ve used lshorton99 �s idea too and kids have lots of fun!
