Yes you can. Just say to the Move ‘Alexa, play music on [Sonos Five Room Name]’ and the music will play on the speaker(s) in that room. If you do not include the room name, the music will simply play on the Move.

One thing to bear in mind is that Alexa has to hear you. So if the Move isn't permanently located in the same physical room as the Fives (rather defeating the point of the Move) this may create a few problems.
