I don't know how severe your student are or what their goals might be. Are they verbal? I'm thinking of learning turn-taking by completing a puzzle together, or building a common item--I use the big legos to make a tower or other VERY simple object--and each student have 2 or 3 different blocks. make a simple item as a model-then have each student take turns putting on a piece to duplicate the item--if they have the right piece--they can comment on it, ask others to "look what I did" etc. If they don't then they have to request a piece from the person who has it ( Timmy, can I have have the red block? or request with pix or just "red block." This way they can learn turntaking, requesting, commenting etc. But your students have to be pretty high to do this. I've done it with making a Potato Head too. Any time you can teach some approriate play skills that may carry over--then they could complete a puzzle, work with Lego's or make a Potato Head during free choice and "look" like they are playing--usually equals more interaction from peers.
