put a couple of bananas in a bowl and put the mango in with them - bananas give off a gas that ripens fruit.

Parts 1 and 2 on here tell you how to do it. http://www.wikihow.com/Ripen-Mangoes
Place mangos in a paper bag with a banana or apple at room temperature. Adding an apple or banana will increase the amount of ethylene gas in the bag, which contributes to ripening.
Apparently to bury them in uncooked rice also speeds up the ripening.
Leave them out in the sun :-)
Squish them with your fingers, as though you are giving them a soft massage, it makes the inside really pulpy so you can just make an hole in them and slurp it out. You may have to do it for a while though

Source - saw so many kids doing it last year :0)
