Entertaiment is a word with a long history, referring to any agreeable diversion or amusement: solving the daily crossword, attending a concert, visiting a museum. Its connections across different forms of media are demonstrated by the way that familiar stories can inspire retellings in music, film or gaming, such as the story of Scheherazade (a famous tale in the Persian professional storytelling tradition). Children’s entertainment often mimics adult activities and prepares them for social interaction or learning skills, such as child rearing or playing group games; other types of entertainment such as sports or arts may provide intellectual or psychological growth.
