¿Quieres jugar?
Hi Jennifer,
In this case, "do" is the verbal auxiliary, used in interrogative sentences like "Do you hear that?".
Your phrase "Do you wanna play?" means "¿Quieres jugar?".
Good luck from Oso ¶:^)

Do is not translated in this case
Jennifer: As used here (the "auxiliary" do) it has no translation into Spanish.
There are no auxiliaries in Spanish to make the interrogative or negative either for the present or for the past. Each verb has its own forms for every person.

¿Quieres jugar? - ¿Quieres jugar a? - ¿Quieres divertirte en?
1) "Do" is an auxiliary verb which is not translated into Spanish.
2) It all depends on the meaning:
i) If you\'re asking plainly to a youngster - for instance - to play, you may use: ¿Quieres jugar?;
ii) If you have a specific game, or a specific role, then you would say for example: ¿Quieres jugar a te veo (peek-a-boo)?
iii) If it\'s a special play...you may want to ask the person: ¿Quieres divertirte en...?(whatever that specific activity is...)
HTH !
