- Now you do the same as step 1 but with your right arm.
- Now you go heel-toe, this means that your heels have to touch your buttocks, you do this with a straight back (chest out) and your hands behind against your buttocks. You do this with a straight back (chest out) and your hands against the back of your buttocks.

- You stand about 3 meters from a wall, you do the attack run. (attack pass) Short-long- close pass (brake pass).
- If you get too close to the wall with the brake pass, you have to look at how big your 2 previous passes were.
- With the brake pass/ close pass you make sure your striking hand touches the wall (don't put too much force on it)
- You take your arms with you, so with the short arms to the front, with long arms to the back, with the brake pass bring your arms up.

- You have a monkey= This person is appointed by the trainer. This person must try to steal the coconut without getting caught.
- You have a coconut= This is basically just the volleyball, or another ball.
- You have a monkey hunter= This person is also assigned by the trainer, but the monkey hunter is ''undercover'', so he is just a palm tree but if the monkey has the ball in his hand, he may tap the monkey.
- And finally you have the Palm Trees= These are all the other players who are not the monkey or the monkey hunter.
You put all the players in a circle on one side of the field, in the middle of this circle you put the ''coconut''.
The trainer chooses the monkey in the presence of the whole team. The monkey then moves towards a wall or stands somewhere with its eyes and ears closed, facing the other way so it cannot see the team. You then say "The monkey hunter is....." (you point out the child, do not say the name of the child). If everyone knows who the monkey hunter is you say that the monkey can come back. The space between the palm trees where the monkey goes in the beginning, he must go back again.
For example, if the monkey goes between John and Peter in the direction of the coconut, it cannot go back between Hans and John.
If the monkey takes the coconut outside the circle without being tapped, the monkey wins.
If the monkey is tapped before it leaves the circle with the coconut, the monkey hunter has won.
- The blue balls are the "palm trees" players.
- The red dot is the ''monkey hunter''. The monkey does not know who the monkey hunter is. The monkey hunter is trying to tap the monkey.
- The white ball is the ''monkey''. He is trying to get the coconut without being tapped.
- The yellow ball is the coconut.
