Entertaiment is the activity or art of entertaining others. It can be in the form of sports, games, theater, music or film. People often abbreviate entertainment to entmt on fliers or in industry news articles. However, it is rarely used in general writing or speech.
Children’s entertainment is important for their development as it often mimics adult activities such as watching performances and social interaction (9) and develops skills such as motor skills needed for sports or music (5). Stories are also popular sources of entertainment – the Scheherazade story from Persian professional storytelling tradition has inspired orchestral works by Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski; director Pasolini made a film adaptation; and innovative video games have been based on the tale.
