2) Backwards Baseball

Supplies:
* baseball
* bat
* 4 "bases"

Set-up:
Set up as any baseball game, with 4 bases forming a square, with several yards between each base.

How to play:
Play baseball. Each person starts at "home" base. A pitcher throws a ball from several feet away, and the batter attempts to hit the ball with the bat. Each player gets three tries to hit the ball. When the player hits the ball, he/she run around the bases, back to home. The difference is, everyone runs clockwise around the bases.

Purpose:
When some players are much less experienced than others, this helps to even things out. The more experienced will feel slightly out of place, and may even run in the wrong direction when they start.

Variations:
4 bases doesn't have to be the rule. You can have as many bases as you want. Why keep it a square? You could make the bases wind around, snake-like. Or you could have everyone run from home to first, to third, to second, to forth, and home, etc.
