When you’re having fun, you boost your positive emotions which activate the learning centers in your brain. That means you are connecting with more of the brain power you have and hence you’ll be more alert in noticing new things and learning through them. When you’re having fun, you’re also much more creative and innovative which means you’ll be able to engage with whatever you’re learning by coming up with new ideas as well as challenging things.
