What did Jesus and his disciples do for entertainment?

I know there's nothing about it in the bible, but they had to have been bored sometimes. Did people tell jokes back then or sing and dance? Did they play games?

    'For ****s sake, Judas, we're not doing charades again! How the hell were we supposed to know it was "The Iliad"? Jumping up and down in front of a wall, clutching your heel, then pretending to be a horse?"

    "And as for you, Peter, that's the lamest attempt I've ever seen of an impression of Moses parting the Red Sea!"

    Jokes, or sing and dance are possible alternatives. Some probably liked fishing but for John, James, Andrew and Peter that would be work not entretaiment since those 4 were fishermans.

    I think their idea of entertainment was preaching the word of God and performing miracles. I get the impression from the Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles that they tended to stay pretty busy just serving others.

    As you said, the Bible does not make this clear, but I imagine they sometimes sang and joked around with each other. James and John were brothers whom Jesus called "Boanerges", which translates as "sons of thunder". "Sons of thunder" seems to me to indicate that at least those two were unlikely to sit around quietly at any time.
