I hate hate hate it when characters are described as 'fun-loving' or when people try to convey personality by saying someone 'likes to have fun'
EVERYONE LIKES HAVING FUN
"Saying your character likes to have fun is like saying they breathe air and sit on chairs"
You can express far more about a character by explaining what kind of things they think are fun, and how they enjoy them. Try to focus on specifics for this exercise, don't say
"Jack has fun swimming"
Try
"Jack loves swimming outdoors and other outdoor activities. He likes to go to beaches but visits indoor pools in the winter to keep active"
Now we know Jack swims all the time, likes being outdoors, and sees keeping fit as a priority, since he keeps swimming even when he can't go to the beach.

For this exercise, write about what your character considers fun, how they include it in their daily life, and the specifics of what they enjoy about it and which variations they like (eg: Jane is a gamer. Okay, shooters? Puzzles? Visual novels? Adventure? Racing? MMO? )
