If you have some scraps of drywall, you can cut some patches. Cut the pieces bigger than the hole by about 2", then cut from one side only the exact size needed. Peel the paper and gypsum away leaving the paper on the other side to act as the "tape" for patching.
Works well. I have patched holes up to about 8 inches in diameter like this. If you don't have any scraps, your local big box hardware store likely has some damaged or broken sheets they'll give you a chunk from.
