How do I write about "fun" without using that word?

Question

I'm a fortunate writer in that I get to write about toys. I get to describe games, puzzles and many more fun things for kids and adults. But I'm feeling like a broken record that's relying on the word "fun" too much. What are other ways to call something "fun" without using that word? I'm trying to go beyond the thesaurus. I'm writing about an emotional response so I'm looking for similar words people like and respond to. Thanks for your help.
