Question about English (US)
We're at the playground. Does the following conversation sound natural?
- Can we go now? It's dinner time. Mom is starving.
- But I still want to play. Can I play for a little longer? ( or " Can I play for more? "which one is correct?)
- How about five more minutes. I'll set a timer. When time is up, we gotta go home.
- OK.

Oh, and “can I play for a little longer” is better than the other choice.
Though, “can I play some more“ would be very common. Just not “for more”.

The whole conversation would probably go this way in real life, though.
Hey! We need to go! It’s dinner time.
Awww!
C’mon! Mom’s starving.
5 more minutes?
I already gave you 10, let’s go!
Daaaaaaaaad!
Fine. 5 minutes! No more!
Yay!
I’m setting a timer!

@Emma-666 you’re welcome!
I have twin 11-year-olds. So that conversation is VERY common for me.
