• 4 Swedish benches are placed in a square.
• A maximum of balls are placed in the square.
• 2 or 3 players stand in the square and try to throw as many balls as possible out of the square during one minute.
• The other players of the team run after the balls and throw them back into the square.
• After one minute the team checks how many balls are still in the square.

This is always fun to do, especially the smaller kids like it.

• 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.
