Turn your schools wasted space into a learning space

We provide Sensory Paths and Sensory Trails for schools and other centres which allows for utilisaion of the otherwise wasted space they have in a creative, cost-effective manner. The products can be tailored to spaces of any shape or size and can give previously unused or underestimated areas a new lease of life and real purpose. In times of bad weather Halls of Fun can be used as an active space or sensory hallway indoors.

What we do

At Halls of Fun we create tailored sensory routes and areas that encourage children to engage in learning and development in an interactive and imaginative way.

Physical Activities

In order to create a space in which both brain and body are active, the routes incorporate many different activities and themes to suit children of differing ages and abilities. Physical activities range from pushing, hopping, spinning and more.

Sensory Development

Sensory routes have been shown to provide sensory support and development to both adults and children of all ability types. The routes provide time for children to engage with their senses in a focused way, that has been proven to improve learning and memory as it actively builds connections within the brain.

Gentle and Immersive

The gentle and immersive nature of our sensory paths provide a break for these children without removing them from the learning environment. Rather it provides a supported, child-friendly movement breaks that can help to decrease the pressure and allow them to navigate their way back to learning.

Watch what Halls of Fun is all about.

Our system can help with childrens motor skills such as spatial awareness, balance and hand-eye co-ordination. It can also encourage language development, cognitive function, problem solving and social skills.

Why we are different

Halls of Fun came about as a result of hands-on experience with both education and the challenges sensory overload conditions can present at home and in school. As a teacher I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of children, all with different needs and learning levels. During my time in the classroom I quickly saw the value of activity breaks throughout the school day, something that was seconded by colleagues and other educational professionals. Through the years I have also had experience with how sensory development and different approaches to learning and engagement can have a real impact on children. In looking for a way to combine the two, Halls of Fun was born.

What Our Schools Have to Say

Tullyallen National School

There is lots of jumping, hopping, balancing and pushing going on in Tullyallen at present. They are delighted with the 2 corridors.

Anne Marry, Principal, Tullyallen National School, Drogheda, Co Louth

Tarmon N.S. , Castlerea

Our new Halls Of Fun Sensory Pathway has all our children moving in school. They enjoy all the different movements involved and often take it upon themselves to follow the pathway when walking through the corridor. A fantastic addition to our school

Tarmon N.S. , Castlerea, Co Roscommon

Scoil Nioclais Naofa - Dunlavin

We are delighted with the trail laid out in Solas by Halls of Fun. It is colourful, bright and engaging. It is used for movement breaks between lessons and it helps the children’s gross motor skills. The emotions circle has been very beneficial and allows the children to identify with their feelings.

We use the trail as part of Circle Time activities also. It has been a fantastic addition to Solas.

 

Lisa Boland (Class Teacher)

Scoil Nioclais Naofa - Dunlavin

Our school is a mixed mainstream school with 240 children located in Dunlavin on the Wicklow/Kildare border. In 2012 we opened two special classes for children on the Autism Spectrum. We call this Solas and have 12 children attending at present. We were fortunate to be able to construct a building with assembly area, classroom, teaching rooms, toilets, store room, soft play area and multi-sensory room. Over the years we have fundraised to provide new equipment and facilities for this class. Most recently we engaged with Linda from Halls of Fun who suggested an idea for floor markings based on interests of the children. Over a number of months Linda consulted with staff and children from Solas regarding what designs and markings would best suit.

 

In June the design was completed and a floor trail was laid out in the assembly and corridor areas of Solas. The children were thrilled by the trail and engaged immediately with it. The trail is of a very high standard and has added great colour and interest to Solas. Linda was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I cannot recommend Halls of Fun highly enough.

It’s added so much colour and really brightened up our hallway as well as providing the pupils with a meaningful and purposeful option for movement breaks. The quality is great and so durable.

The trail is really colourful and engaging for children and it really brightens up the corridor. It is made to a really high quality and I am sure the children of our school will enjoy it for years to come.

They are a great company to deal with and we really appreciate Linda’s guidance and creativity in designing our sensory trail. I would highly recommend Halls of Fun to any school looking for a sensory walk.

It’s wonderful to have such a quality durable product to last the test of time and of lots of little footprints!!

Such warm friendly people to deal with and their attention to detail was second to none. I would highly recommend their product and service and look forward to getting more sensory trails installed in the future.

Gaelscoil Athy

How fab are these Sensory Trails installed by @HallsOfFun in our school over the summer. Our school looks so bright and the kids LOVE them!!

Gaelscoil Athy

We are over the  moon with the amazing sensory trail installed by halls of fun. Pupils from every class in our school are engaged with the various activities and it adds such vibrancy to our corridor. The pupils' faces lit up when they saw them up on return to school. Linda's service was very professional and she really worked with us to tailor the trail for our school, taking staff feed back and requests on board.  Straight lines in the corridor are a thing of the past as the kids hop, skip, push, tiptoe and jump their way outside at break time.

Linda's enthusiasm and expertise was clear from our very first contact. She designed a beautiful print-rich sensory trail that was perfect for our school which not only made the space look fantastic it has been amazing for the childrens' movement breaks to encourage focus and participation. The trails have also been an excellent resource for encouraging language and developing gross motor skills, the children and staff really love using it.

Presentation Convent Primary School, Thurles

Our Halls of Fun Sensory Trail has brought joy and purpose to our school corridor. The children simply love hopping, tip-toeing, balancing and pushing their way around this stimulating and challenging trail. Our SETs love having the opportunity to use the trail to enhance their OT and sensory work. Our SNAs also use the trail for movement breaks. All in all this is a resource that every school should have in some form. It is reasonably priced, durable, bright, motivating and with Linda's help can be designed and installed within the week!

Thank you for installing the paths and decals yesterday. There was great excitement when the doors of the school opened this morning and the children saw them for the first time. We have had children trying out the different exercises and it has brought a lovely buzz to the school environment. From start to finish you have been a pleasure to deal with and provided us with creative ways to maximise the use of our available space. As part of our building is from 1961 we didn't think we could do much with that part of the corridor but you showed us that we could. Your willingness to meet us and to make sure we were completely happy with the design and how it would be of benefit to our children was greatly appreciated. The installation process was painless from our point of view which was an added bonus. The sensory pathway, number line, alphabet and push wall will be beneficial to all of our children for many years to come. Thank you for everything,

Linda came to our school last month and set up the Halls of Fun. She was amazing to deal with from start to finish and the children love the active hallway. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing and adds colour and fun but it is so beneficial for the children for many reasons. They adore it and it keeps them active, it stimulates them and really benefits children with Dyspraxia, OT concerns, and is a space children can burn off some steam if needs be.

Thanks again,
Louise and Caroline
