For anyone wondering why 草 (Grass) is also used for laughter in Japanese, this is because 笑う (わらう) = To Laugh is commonly written as a bunch of “W” in text messages (i.e. wwwww). This is similar to how English speakers write “lolololol” or “hahaha” to mean the same thing. However, because “wwwwww” kinda looks like a grass field, the Kanji for Grass (草) is used instead.

次は参加 (さんか) = Participation.

やる - will (to do something), motivation

In the same line, there is やり甲斐がい (being worth doing), a word which I learned @Haruna さんのおかげさまで, through the reading of Haruna’s daily diary (reading practice) (これを教えてくれてありがとう!).
This word is ‘family’ with 甲斐がい (purpose in life, raison d’être) as well as other 〇〇甲斐 words for expressing that something is worth 〇〇 (言い甲斐, 話し甲斐).
