Summertime FUN!
Do you remember the Beach Boys song entitled “Fun, Fun, Fun”?
You can refresh your memory here, and you don’t have to own a T-Bird to relate!
There are a lot of teacher conferences that happen over the summer, and my social media feed has been full of posts from teachers having “fun, fun, fun” at these conferences.
Summer is for fun, and I hope that everyone is finding something that they enjoy and find fun to do.
The word for fun in Spanish is “divertido”, related to the words “divert” and “diversion”.
The etymology of fun is from the Old English word fun meaning “to cheat or trick”.
So, to have fun means…
…to do something that is a diversion from the ordinary or from what we normally do.
…to do something that diverts our attention from our troubles, sorrows, preoccupations, etc. and directs us more toward things that will relieve us of these burdens.
…to do something that cheats time and tricks our minds into a state of bliss and mindful musings.
What is fun to one person may not be fun to another.
So, what are some things we can do to have fun?
