Create a Sensory Hallway in Your School
Sensory Hallways Made Easy
Many schools are looking for ways to brighten up their hallways. Sensory hallways, or sensory pathways, increase student learning and engagement throughout the school day. We have created a wide range of heavy-duty, custodian-approved stickers that you can add to your school’s hallways to create a dynamic and interactive learning environment.
Our stickers are ideal for elementary schools and cover concepts taught from Pre-K through 5th grade. These sensory hallway designs, like our floor mats, help young students learn about multiplication, division, factoring, addition, subtraction, place values, rounding and so much more. Our sensory hallways can be customized for smaller spaces (e.g. single mats like the one shown in the video) or can be turned into a full movement sensory path with various concept designs.
Benefits of Sensory Hallways
Increase student engagement and willingness to participate in the classroom
Increase cognition and memory retention of new information
Provide a brain break so students can release tension, allowing their brain and body to refocus
Aid students in developing fine and gross motor skills like balance, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness
Prevents disruptive behaviors from occurring within the classroom
Enhancing Sensory Integration in Schools
Sensory integration in schools is crucial for creating an inclusive environment where all students can thrive. Sensory-friendly hallways are designed to support students’ sensory experiences in education, making it easier for them to process information and stay focused during lessons. By creating sensory walkways, schools can provide students with a sensory environment that caters to diverse learning needs and promotes overall well-being.

In 2019, we launched a pilot program featuring our Dolch Word Hop floor stickers (floor decals) at a school near Ithaca, New York. Check out what the principal, teachers, and students had to say about their colorful new hallway!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are sensory hallways?
Sensory hallways are interactive pathways created using a series of stickers or decals placed on the floor of a school’s hallway. These pathways are designed to engage students in physical activities that enhance their learning experience, helping them develop fine and gross motor skills, improve cognition, and stay focused throughout the school day.
How do sensory hallways benefit students?
Sensory hallways provide several benefits to students, including:
- increased academic engagement
- reinforcement of core math and literacy concepts
- the ability to take brain breaks throughout the school day
- boosted development of gross and fine motor skills
- more academic practice during transition times around the school
Additionally, these hallways can help prevent disruptive behaviors by allowing students to expend energy in a structured and productive way.
What age group are sensory hallways designed for?
Math & Movement’s sensory hallways are primarily designed for elementary school students, covering concepts taught from Pre-K through 5th grade. We offer three sensory hallway kit options:
- PreK – 1st Early Learning Kit
- Kindergarten – 2nd Hallway Kit
- 3rd – 5th Hallway Kit
What academic concepts can be taught using sensory hallways?
Children love to move—and they need to move! Too much sitting results in decreased circulation and a subsequent decrease in concentration. Movement stimulates the release of dopamine and noradrenaline in the brain, which boosts learning and positive feelings! Plus, summer is a great time to teach children the importance of staying active.
Are sensory hallways easy to install?
Yes! Some cleaning prep is needed to ensure the stickers adhere to the surfaces as well as possible, but placing the sticker is relatively easy. Check out our sticker installation page for details.
