The closest thing I could find to "win" as in "win a prize" was aufero,
which literally means "carry off".

The perfect first person singular would be abstuli.

So...

Emmy abstuli.

Maybe someone else will have a better suggestion.

what about "vinco, is, vici, victum vicere"?

so
Emmy vici

I don't know what an "Emmy" is, anyway.... Confused

Good question.
Vinco means win in the sense of conquer or defeat.
Emmy vici would mean "I defeated Emmy".

Then I would rather use "Percipio, is percepi perceptum percipere" witch could be translated as "collect"

so

Emmy percepi

Sounds quite good.... Smile

"egeo"? I think "I want to believe" would be "credere cupio" or "credere vellim".

They would be both correct (it's "velim" actually), I've chosen a more "dramatic" word, maybe too much...

How can I write, "welcome to our play" in Latin, Greek, and Chinese. I am an elementary teacher and my class is doing a play on ancient civilizations. Thanks to anyone who can help!

The Romans did not use "welcome" as a greeting, they used Salve
(singular) or Salvete (plural). I would translate this as
Salvete! Grati apud fabulam nostram estis.

(Literally, "Hail! You are welcome to our play.")
