Life treats individual differently. Survival for some is easy - perhaps owing to the state they met their parents or having a kind of privilege - while for some, it has been a tug of war since birth. Whichever category you find yourself, one thing is paramount, you deserve to be happy. Happiness is mostly not given to someone, it's rather dependent on how you create it for yourself as you proceed with life.
Closely related with happiness is fun. When you have fun, you are trying to create happiness for yourself from some actions. The list of where one can have fun from or what one can do to have fun is endless. You may have fun while doing your job especially if you are not an accidental worker in that field. It may be that it's from leisure activities like playing outdoor or indoor games. Traveling and tourism is also a channel of having fun for some people.
Like I said, the list is endless. Fun is associated with amusement, laughter, fulfilment and so on. In my own case, I have my way of having fun and making myself happy;
My free time.
I have few activities that I do during my free time to have fun. The one I do at a particular time depends on the time of the week or day. During weekends and in few cases, midweeks, I watch European football matches - English premier league and champions' league - in some football viewing centres where I join other football lovers to watch the game, show our passion for the club we support and joke over everything.
Anytime any of my siblings or wife is celebrating birthday, I joined them to organize party and have fun.
I came across this post by @brian.rrr where he explained how he had fun with his family as stated below;
At night, my grandfather had a birthday party - he turned 90!
The party was a lot of fun and it was great to be with family.
I like to also watch comedy movies during the week at my free time. Once I am doing this, I am naturally on top of my world because no matter the challenges I am experiencing from living like payments of bills, I won't think of any of it but just laughter and joy.
Why we need to not forget about having fun?
We need to keep it in mind that no man is without problems. No matter your class in the society, there is a step above that you are aiming at. Human needs is insatiable. It is necessary to create that happiness for yourself along the line. Always have fun to ease out stress. When you have fun, you rediscover your joyful self and will also most probably be happy with people around you. A man found of having fun is always happy. You need to be happy. Have fun. Whatever makes you happy and fulfilled, do it for as long as it doesn't negatively affect other people.
How to have fun even in a hard situation?
It's not easy to have fun in difficult situations but it does help in maintaining one's balance in such situation. When you sit down and think of the situation you find yourself, ask yourself two questions. Do I have a role to play in getting out of this situation? Is it beyond my control?. If you are still in control, strive to find solution and while doing that, try and refresh your soul by having fun. It's vital to your mental health. If the situation is beyond you, look for help and still don't forget that you must not overstress yourself. Relax and do what makes you happy routinely.
What do you find funny?
Watching comedy movies, joining others for public activities like watching games, visiting places of tourist attraction, playing with children are all fun to me. I like seeing people laugh and I do crack Jokes to make people around me laugh. The act itself is funny to me.

The subject is comparatively more difficult to understand and to make pupils love the subject, I devised many ways of engaging them. One of such ways is bringing them closer during breaks and telling them stories. I also give them task in between with a reward of biscuits, candies if they get it correctly. It's always fun for us doing that. One of my pupils wrote this for me in the just observed Eid el Fitri.
I was so happy getting the letter while others came to appreciate me verbally. We sang some songs together and had a lot of fun.
