You could do many creative things...
1. You could sew the pieces into a washcloth folded in half and stitched.
2. You can always use them in your drawers to keep your clothes fresh.
3. Put the pieces into a soap dispenser with warm water and let dissolve, it should make liquid soap.
4. Start with any loaf mold and cut up any colorful melt & pour
soap into small pieces. Put them into the mold and spray lightly with alcohol. Melt some white or cream melt & pour soap
(not too hot), and pour directly over the cut up pieces in the
mold. Let set and cut with some wavy cutter for fun and easy soap. use the soap quickly for best results.
5. You could also grind the pieces to get a colorful mixture. which you could use in Candle making and other decorative purpose.
6. The same colorful mixture could also be used in art work made by you.. Make a cutout with your choice of design on it. Apply some adhesive, and sprinkle the granules of soap to get a decorative piece of art.

do you notice that the color of soap changes as you use it over a week or two? It could be covered with lots of bacteria hence, I don't like to share my soap with anybody. So, if you are near the end of the soap, I'd urge you not to "recycle" - you could be adding more bacteria to newer liquid soap. Soap is not too expensive - I usually toss it when my hand can no longer hold it comfortably when I'm showering. Just not worth it.

If you place them in a bottle like a liquid hand soap bottle and add a little water you can use them like regular liquid hand soap.

many good recommendations already. another useful, not so fun, but useful use is to use a cheese grater to make it into flakes and use it as laundry soap.

you could place them all in a pantyhose, cut down to size, and then tie a knot in the top. You can then use the soap until it all dissolves.

yes you can melt them and make bigger bars. but why go to all that trouble. soap is not that expensive.
