i would have used the subjunctive first person plural which is nosotros (we) this typically gives the meaning of "let's" (do something) eg. let's eat - comamos eg. let's talk - hablemos eg. let's play - juguemos if you haven't learnt this "mood" (not considered a tense) ( the SUBJUNCTIVE) then just ask me and i can explain it to you. (NOTE: jugar is a "cambio radical" verb and so is considered irregular in the subjunctive nosotros) hope this is what you were looking for

Or you can use the informal future. In Spanish, this is very often used to express the idea of "lets" do something.

Vamos a + infinitive = "Let's (do the infinitive)"

Por ejemplo-

Vamos a jugar- Let's play.

Vamos a cantar- Let's sing

Vamos a bailar- Let's dance.

¿Comprende? ¿Es fácil, no?
