Colin,
I played a simplified version of "stella, ella, ola" with my classes and
they love it and ask for it. They call it "el cocodrilo"
Here's a video:

If I had extra time, I could probably come up with spanish words so the
whole "rhyme" is in Spanish. Google "stella, Ella, Ola" and you will find
a ton of versions of the song.
Instead of singing the song, we just count to 10- In Spanish of course.
You can ask different people to start so the kids can't count ahead and
figure out if they will be #10.
At 10, if the person's hand is slapped, they are out 'Eliminado!"
If 10 is able to move their hand before #9 slaps it (9 slaps their own
hand), then 10 is safe and 9 is out.
Important rules:
- if 10 move their hand before 9 start moving, 10 is out. Sometimes 9
likes to stall/bluff to see if 10 will move.
- if anyone other than 10 "flinches" (9 often jumps the gun) they are out.
- No holding down the hand of the person that you are about to slap.
The only adjustment that I've had to make is to create an activity for
those that are eliminated, so they don't start chatting in English while
they wait. I sometimes have them do a thumb war, or rock paper scissors
with each other. You can also pair them off as they get eliminated and
have them list vocabulary - colors, classes, animals, food, etc... changing
the prompt after each new person is eliminated.
My classes have also had a lot of fun with the knee slapping game:

Can you tell me about Juan Comadreja and Oso, cazador, princesa? I don't
know how to play these and I could use some fun activities.
