Entertaiment is any activity that diverts or amuses people in their leisure time. It can involve an active participation, such as when people play games; or a passive experience, such as when people watch a performance. Entertainments may also have a serious purpose, such as in ceremonial activities or religious festivals; or be a form of satire or propaganda. They can also inspire retellings in other media, such as the story of Scheherazade, told in the professional storytelling tradition and later turned into orchestral works, films, and video games.
