You can still do bench presses from the ground. It's not as large range of motion, so you won't be working the entire muscle, but it's better then nothing.

Shoulders:
Overhead press
Lateral raises
Front raises
Bent over raises
Upright rows

Arms:
Curls
Reverse curls
Overhead triceps extensions
Triceps kickbacks

Legs:
Dumbbell squats
Lunges
Stiff leg deadlifts
Standing calf raise

Back:
Bent over rows

Chest:
Bench press from ground, as mentioned, or make a platform with phonebooks and blanket to increase the range of motion.
Dumbbell flyes using the same method.
Or just do push ups for your chest + close grip push ups.

There are many bodyweight exercises you can do without the dumbbells, so don't forget these too.


Good Luck
