Playing a game or reading a book are two examples of activities that fall under the category of entertainment. Entertainment can be defined as any activity that allows human beings to spend their free time in a way that allows them to have fun or recreate their mood with a distraction, avoiding boredom and temporarily evading their worries, rejoicing, or delighting.
Games are played for enjoyment, sometimes only for the sake of entertainment, and other times also for the purpose of accomplishment or reward. They may be played by individuals, by teams, or online, and they can be played by either amateurs or professionals. When individuals are delighted by watching a chess championship, for example, there may be spectators in the audience who are not participants in the game. On the other hand, participants in a game may be their own audience as they take turns playing the game. When youngsters are participating in a game, determining who is a member of their audience and who is a participant may often be a source of enjoyment for them.

Since ancient times, banquets have served as a venue for entertainment. This tradition has continued all the way up until the 21st century when banquets are still used for many of the same reasons they were first created: to impress guests, especially important ones in order to demonstrate hospitality; as an occasion to display supporting entertainments such as music or dancing, or both. They were an essential component of the court entertainment and contributed to the development of the performers’ abilities. Celebrations such as coronations, marriages, birthdays, civic or political accomplishments, military engagements or wins, and military engagements or victories as well as religious responsibilities all feature them prominently as significant components. In today’s contemporary times, banquets may be purchased at commercial establishments like restaurants and dinner theatres, where they are often coupled with a play. As part of international contests such as the Bocuse d’Or, professional chefs’ ability to cook has also evolved into a sort of entertainment in recent years.
Music plays a supportive role in a wide variety of entertainment formats as well as the vast majority of performance formats. For instance, it may be used to improve the quality of a tale, it is necessary for the performance of dance and opera, and it is often integrated into dramatic film or theatre productions.
