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