Entertaiment is an agreeable occupation for the mind; a diversion; an amusement: The daily crossword puzzle is an entertainment for many people.
Entertains can be as simple as a clown at a birthday party or as complex as a stadium rock concert. Children’s entertainment often mimics adult activities and teaches them the value of cooperation and teamwork (as in group games or play with dolls). Entertainment can also develop motor skills for music and sports and be creatively remixed across different media (as in the stories of Scheherazade, which have been told as an orchestral piece by Rimsky-Korsakov, a film by Ravel and countless innovative video games).
Entertaiment is a great way to advertise and attract people to an event or to get free publicity for a business. However, some forms of entertainment can be considered inappropriate or even harmful.
