Most of my students are adults, but at the beginning of the day I teach a single grade 2 elementary boy. He's got lots of energy and is always trying to play games with me.
For the last 2 days he's been trying this game where he points his hand at my head and says "cham cham cham" but on the third "cham" he flips his hand either to one side, or up or down. I don't really get what am I supposed to do. Do any of you know how you're supposed to play this game?

Thanks

On the third Cham you are supposed to turn your head in a different direction. If you turn your head in the same direction that he points to you lose.

Here's an example:

Alright, thanks for that CSlinguist. It seems pretty straightforward, but because he's a young boy, he cheats a lot, so it seemed like whatever I did, he'd "win". So it was hard for me to figure out how I was supposed to do to win.
