Select the Direct Select Tool (A).
Select all of the points.
Hold Shift and select 1 of the anchor points to deselect one of the anchor points
Select Cut path of selected anchor points in the Anchor Point toolbar (The icon with the segmented line and scissors).

Now go back to the last anchor point and select it with the Direct Select Tool (A) and click on the Cut path of selected anchor points button to cut the last anchor point.
