I do.
Me too.

What could Amy do?
Well, she can ask a friend for help.
I know how to play. Me too.
I don't. Can you show me how?

Now, everyone has to form a line.
Asking for help is one thing you can do when you don't know what to expect.
Another thing Amy could do is first watch how her friends played the game.
