Use a CompoundExpression

Module[{a = 2},
 Do[
  Print[StringForm["`1` * `2` = `3`",
    idx, a, idx*a]];
  Print[StringForm["`1` x `2` = `3`",
    idx, a, idx + a]],
  {idx, 0, 3}]]

Or use a list of operations

Module[{a = 2},
 Do[Print[
   Column[{
     StringForm["`1` * `2` = `3`",
      idx, a, idx*a],
     StringForm["`1` x `2` = `3`",
      idx, a, idx + a]}]],
  {idx, 0, 3}]]

Or use a more complex expression

Module[{a = 2},
 Do[Print[
   StringForm["`1` * `2` = `3`\n`1` x `2` = `3`",
    idx, a, idx + a]],
  {idx, 0, 3}]]
