You could use the te-form of verbs, such as 起きて, 食べて, 寝て, 見て, 歩いて, 走って, 笑って, 泣いて, ~~して, etc... http://japanese.about.com/od/grammarlessons/a/031101c.htm
例)
昨日は百貨店に「行って」、プレゼントを「買って」、その後レストランで食事「して」帰りました。
(I went to a department store yesterday, bought presents, then had dinner at a restaurant, and went home.)
You could use the auxiliary verb ~~たり (~~だり), depending on the context.

eg. 起きたり, 寝たり, 食べたり, 歩いたり, 走ったり, 泣いたり, 笑ったり, ~~したり, etc...
例)
あの生徒は授業中、しょっちゅう歩き「回ったり」、「しゃべったり」、居眠り「したり」、ケータイで「遊んだり」している。
(That student often walks around, chatters, dozes off and plays with his phone in class. )
