3) Completely Chaotic Baseball*

Supplies:
* baseball
* bat
* bases

Set-up:
Set up as any other baseball game, with 4 (or more) bases forming a square (or any shape you choose).

How to play:
Instead of having a general rule in which each batter who hits the ball gets to run counter clockwise around the bases, have the "umpire" call out the direction or base to which to run when the player hits the ball, or even as the player makes it to each base, making the players run back and forth. If you call out, for instance, "2nd base", then the players on first through forth base all have to run to second, and anyone tagged in the confusion of deciding which way to run is out.
