While the Play:5s are playing, you need to press and hold the play button on the Roam for about two seconds to group the Roam to the Play:5s. Or you can just manually group them together in the Sonos app.

NOTE: The Roam needs to be in WiFi mode, not Bluetooth mode to group it with the Play:5s. But you can group the Play:5s to the Roam while the Roam is playing Bluetooth audio. The Roam will act as a Bluetooth gateway for the Play:5s.
