HOW RENT-A-THEME ENTERTAINMENT’S ENRICHING PLAY EXPERIENCES CAN BENEFIT YOUR STUDENTS

Play is a fully immersive sensory experience that inspires imagination, creativity, and connection. Backed by thousands of scientific studies—including neuroscience, psychology, and child development research—play is proven to strengthen brain function, foster social-emotional growth, and support long-term academic success. When students engage in hands-on play, they not only enjoy the moment but also activate critical areas of the brain tied to problem-solving, communication, and resilience.

Increase Engagement

Play boosts focus, attention to detail, and communication in the classroom. Students become more enthusiastic learners, participating actively and retaining concepts more effectively.

Support Mental Health

Colorado youth face serious mental health challenges—suicide is the leading cause of death for ages 10–24. Our play experiences foster empathy, optimism, and belonging, creating safe, inclusive spaces where students feel connected and supported.

Build Community

Our programs invite parents and teachers to join the fun, creating opportunities for shared experiences that strengthen school–community bonds and promote equity. Play is naturally inclusive—bridging age, gender, culture, and race.

Boost Academic Success

Hands-on play nurtures critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. These skills translate into higher productivity, improved academic outcomes, and stronger lifelong learning habits.

Incorporate STEM

As a proud member of the STEM Education Coalition, we integrate science, technology, engineering, and math into play. Experiences like Block Party, Blue Adventures, and Science FX spark curiosity in grade-appropriate ways—helping students understand real-world concepts like balance, structure, motion, and cause-and-effect through joyful, interactive exploration.

Perfect for Every School Event

Our play experiences adapt to fit your school’s needs, offering fun, purposeful options for nearly any occasion:

Fundraisers: Bring the excitement of Under the Big Top or host a Mini Golf
Tournament—two playful, profitable ways to raise money while building school spirit.
Team-Building Field Days: Encourage cooperation and friendly competition with life-sized games.
Student Engagement Activities: Break up routines with immersive play experiences that refresh focus and energy.
STEAM Family Nights: Showcase science and creativity in action with interactive stations for students and parents. And much more!

not all entertainment is created equal. PLAY BIG!

RENT-A-THEME ENTERTAINMENT BRINGS THE FIELD TRIP TO YOU!

Let Rent-A-Theme bring an on-site field trip experience to your Denver Area school. Safety is paramount for all of us, making on-site experiences a wise choice. With Rent-A-Theme Entertainment’s on-site play experiences, we assist effectively in managing and addressing various transportation and safety considerations. Therefore, making hands-on learning both enjoyable and hassle-free!

When the field trip is on-site at your school:

Your school already has safety guidelines in place, and both students and staff are familiar with emergency procedures within your school premises.

Your front office enforces visitor policies and follows safety protocols in the familiar school environment.

All necessary medications and emergency information are easily accessible.

The risk of a child getting lost is minimized.

These reassurances are challenging to replicate off-site.

Another remarkable benefit of bringing the field trip experience to your school is cost-effectiveness. By bringing these exciting experiences to your school, you eliminate the need for extra supervision and significantly reduce expenses on fuel and transportation. It’s a budget-friendly way to provide enriching experiences for your students.

The reasons to include Rent-A-Theme Entertainment’s play experiences are numerous and backed by research. According to one study, over 80% of information taught through hands-on techniques is retained. Furthermore, an impressive 91% of teachers believe that hands-on learning contributes to enjoyment in learning, which in turn improves academic success.

R.A.T.E.’s hands-on approach, combined with the understanding that children learn best in a familiar environment, allows us to fully leverage these learning opportunities, making our play experiences truly effective.

Bringing Rent-A-Theme Entertainment to your location is an extremely convenient option for any educational center looking to introduce their students to creative and imaginative play experiences. R.A.T.E. takes care of the delivery and setup of our play experiences, making it one of the simplest and time-saving options available.

How should I prepare my educational facility for a R.A.T.E. play experience?

First, determine whether you would like the play experience to be set up indoors or outdoors. In either case, make sure you have a large enough space, such as a gymnasium or field, for the play experience to fit comfortably. Each individual play experience comes with complimentary set-up and clean-up, making it a smooth, convenient process from start to finish! Contact one of our play experts today for more information on our play experiences!

What grade levels do you recommend for R.A.T.E. play experiences?

One of the best aspects of our play experiences is that they are accessible for all ages! Children as young as 3 years old can participate in a Rent-A-Theme Entertainment play experience. Of course, preschoolers will require more supervision than sixth graders, but it doesn’t change the fact that children of all ages can engage with and learn from our play experiences! Call (303)-339-0001 for a recommendation for which play experience would best suit your particular needs.

Is an at-school field trip more cost-effective than an off-site field trip?

The short answer is—yes! With a R.A.T.E. play experience at your educational facility, you will be cutting costs by avoiding paying for transportation fees, additional staff supervision, and delivery. You’ll also save yourself the expense of purchasing costly equipment that requires maintenance and storage. Instead, you can book one or more of our play experiences for the day, and let us handle all of the technical aspects of caring for our equipment.
