Who plays

Three audiences. One operating system.

Same warehouse. Same equipment. Same educator-founder. Different outcomes for each room.

Our signature program

Grandfriends Play Days.

The only intergenerational play program in Colorado. A class of students visits a senior community for two hours of facilitated play across five accessible stations.

01

Mobile Mini Golf

Pairs of one student and one resident play together. Accessible tees. Seated play option. Team scorecard, never individual.

02

Life-Size Board Game

Floor-scale Connect Four, Yahtzee, or custom. Residents call moves from a chair. Students execute on the floor.

03

Building Challenge

Mixed-age teams build to a prompt. "Build something from your childhood neighborhood." Teams share what they made.

04

Story Prompt Corner

Students interview residents. Each student writes one quote on a card. Cards become a takeaway gift for residents.

05

Photo & Reflection Wall

A polaroid of each pair. One sentence answering "what surprised you today?" Each pair takes the photo home.

Our story

I spent 17 years being told no.

I spent 17 years working in schools. Enrichment director at Denver Public Schools. Same role at Cherry Creek. I watched thousands of kids walk in curious and walk out tired of being told no.

Kids learn through their hands. Through their mouths. Through play. And every adult around them, including me sometimes, was teaching them to stop.

I started Rent-A-Theme in 2009 because I wanted to give that spark a place to go. Then I learned something I did not expect. The first time I brought 10,000 life-size Legos into a senior community, the residents did not just watch. They built. Their grandkids stayed all afternoon.

That is when I understood what this company was actually for. It is for the moments where a kid and a senior are in the same room, doing the same thing, and forgetting for an hour that one of them is 8 and one of them is 88.
