You can say "Ellos jugaban". This can be interpreted as "they played", but by using the imperfect tense, it implies action in the past over a period of time, and usually means "were playing" or "used to play". If the preterit is used, "ellos jugaron", that would imply action in the past occurring at a specific point in time, "they played".
If 'they' were females, 'Ellas' instead of 'ellos'; but if the context is clear, no need to use either: 'Jugaban' would suffice.
