Here is one exercise I use to do.

Don't pick strings with your right hand. Only fret the chords with your left hand. Slowly try to fret all the notes of the chord. For example: you start with C - Am - Dm - G. You start with C, you count the beat" 1 - 2 - 3 - 4" on the beat 1 and 3 you press the strings to form a chord. On the beat 2 and 4 you release all the tension so it's like: "press - release - press - release" . Start with C chord only. after you are comfortable then change to next chord. Every chord you count 4 beats. when you can do all of them, you can start to change every 2 beats. after that you can try change a chord on each beat. So the finally exercise will be like "1 (C) - 2 (Am) - 3 (Dm) - 4 (G).
