Take part for fun (4)

I believe the answer is:

play

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'take' is the first definition.
(I know that play is a kind of take)

'part for fun' is the second definition.
'play' can be an answer for 'fun' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'part for' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for play that I've seen before include "Dramatic work" , "Theatre performance" , "Slack - performance" , "Theatrical production" , "Drama - latitude - sport" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
