"Make the car go fast"
I am working with preschool children and when we are playing with cars on the floor, I am trying to tell them to "make the car go fast", or "make the car jump up and down". Can you tell me how I'd say it using both the tú and ustedes forms?
Gracias!

Hagan que el coche salte arriba y abajo-hace que el coche salte arriba y abajo
Perhaps you'll find this free ebook on the Spanish Imperative (Command Form) to be helpful.
Haz que el/tu coche/carro vaya más rápido.
I'd say that you'd use the tú form (haz) but other options would be 'haga' (Ud.) or 'hagan' (Uds.)
The possibilities are various. You can also say: Haz (tú) / hagan (Uds.) que el coche corra. But I am surprised that a teacher doesn´t know how to use an on-line translator.
