While I've never learned animation, I might be able to give you some input from when I learned programming in a group just about that size. It is possible for the other 4 not actually working to really learn something. Sometimes, the person teaching us would just shove the only computer we had in front of someone and tell them to program something with it. The rest of us would watch what they were doing, and give some suggestions if we saw something was wrong, or listened to the instructor's corrections of the person's errors.
This is also a great way to teach collaboration. Everyone can give some input into the task. They all can learn whether they're at the computer or not. The important thing is, like Morgan said, to make sure the other 4 are not fooling around while other people are trying to learn.
