Ankle Alphabets - With your leg leaning off the edge of a support, or actively holding the leg up, trace the alphabet with your ankle.  Make sure that the movement is coming from your ankle and not your leg.  Try doing the letters regular as well as reverse (mirror image).

Myofascial Release for the Foot - Using a golf ball, roll the bottom of your foot all around, making sure to cover any hot spots.  Like the foam roller, pause on hot spots for 10-30 seconds.
