'to pass the time'
While we're waiting, let's pass the time doing crossword puzzles.

well we also have pasar el tiempo, hacer tiempo means, do sth else so that the latecomers don´t miss anything. Is pass the time the equivalent in that context?

I agree with the above but I would also say that hacer tiempo (mientras se espera algo) is to while away the time, to kill time, right?
