Paraphrase for 'Let's go, shall we?'

Hi teachers,
Would the paraphrase, 'Can we go, OK? be an appropriate one?
How about this one, "My suggestion is to go, OK?"
A: ... Well, let's go, shall we? ('Shall we' here is like a tag question, isn't it?)

Thanks in advance.

A formula! That's a good one.

If you suppose, it gives me room to explain that to my students.
