You can get USB to PS/2 convertors, they usually support both keyboards and mice and tend to be a couple of quid when bought online. Saying that you might be better off buying some USB mice instead and taking the PS/2 mice back.

If it helps, eBuyer.com are doing a USB to PS/2 adaptor (one single PS/2 device) for under £2 each:

Or you can get a USB optical mouse for under £3 each:
