At Rent-A-Theme Entertainment, we believe that play is more than just fun—it’s a science-backed pathway to learning, connection, and well-being. Colorado schools are discovering how custom-designed play experiences can transform classrooms, support teachers, and help students thrive both socially and academically.
The Science of Play in Learning
Decades of research, including the work of Dr. Stuart Brown and the National Institute for Play, confirm that play is essential for healthy brain development. It strengthens neural pathways, fuels creativity, and enhances problem-solving skills. When children engage in play, they are not just having fun—they are building the very skills that prepare them for
success in school and life.
Supporting Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
Schools today face growing challenges with student stress, disconnection, and behavioral struggles—especially in the wake of the pandemic. Our custom play experiences are intentionally designed to support Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). Through collaborative games and hands-on activities, students learn how to:
- Work as a team and communicate effectively
- Manage emotions and build resilience
- Develop empathy and appreciation for diverse perspectives
- Experience confidence through success in play
These outcomes directly enhance the classroom climate, making learning more engaging and relationships more positive.
Custom Play Experiences for Colorado Schools
What makes Rent-A-Theme different is our commitment to creating custom-fabricated play experiences that meet the unique needs of each school. Whether it’s a fall-themed mini golf course with glowing pumpkins, a life-size LEGO® Block Party that fosters creativity, or our Mega Moves collection of oversized strategy games, every experience is built to be
immersive, inclusive, and impactful.
We handle setup, facilitation, and cleanup so teachers can focus on enjoying the moment with their students. And because our games are custom fabricated—not off-the-shelf—they create a premium, one-of-a-kind experience that students will never forget.
Enhancing Education Beyond the Classroom
Rent-A-Theme doesn’t stop at students. Our 3-Part Play Series brings workshops to teachers and parents as well. Teachers gain stress-relieving, team-building strategies to carry back into their classrooms. Parents learn playful tools to strengthen connections at home. Together, these experiences create a school culture where everyone—students, staff, and families—feels valued, engaged, and connected.
Building Stronger Communities Through Play
We’re honored to be the only company in Colorado offering these kinds of science-backed, custom-fabricated play experiences. Our mission is simple: to enhance education by making learning joyful, memorable, and deeply human. When schools partner with Rent-A-Theme, they aren’t just renting games—they’re investing in stronger students, stronger teachers, and stronger communities.
