Sheepy Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 We have had a request to find some way of getting some entertainment setup in our dinner hall for the children during break and lunch.. Has anyone had the same request and if you have what was the solution to use? I have some idea's but I just want to see what everyone else thinks... Taa muchly
Joanne Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 we already have a screen and sound system in the hall, so if I were asked I would stick some music on or a film...
abillybob Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I have a XBMC media center setup so that the children can watch LiveTV in the hall on three different screen. You really won't believe how quiet the hall is now that all the kids are watching TV - haha!
tommej Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Multiple screens + sound system, usually set to music channels.
Joanne Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 select music channels carefully... hahah!!!

Do you also put your Personal Identification Number Number in at the Automated Teller Machine Machine? Realistically I think something like that would be the best idea. Live TV = pre-screened and pre-censored so there's no accidental naughties, whereas music channels or DVD's may cause issues (of either inappropriate content, or licensing/copyright)

hardtailstar Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 We have have conversation and the weeks theme music playing.

Taa muchly Have a look at this as it might be a better alternative long term Improving school lunchtime structure & management - Recipe for Change.
Andrew_C Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Beware showing video that the school has a licence to use "for educational purposes". Lunchtime may not fall into this category.
Sheepy Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 We have the setup ready I was just looking for what others do... I'm happy to go with pre screened music but it needs to be a rather big playlist as to not get old quickly... the live TV is an interesting idea but sometimes it just ends up being rubbish shows that would not hold conversation lol We are also thinking to throw some X-Factor/whatever is popular at that time clips into the mix to keep the children engaged!
Iain.Faulkner Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 After being told that we had to provide this, we agreed to put a TV up in our canteen. Within 24 hours, someone had stabbed it with a pen and shattered the screen.
sonofsanta Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 They stick Daybreak (or whatever it is now) on in the morning for breakfast, but over break & lunch they instead go for the approach of "go on hurry up eat faster people are waiting no don't hang around get on with it eat eat EAT EAT GO GO GO!"
Miscbrah Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Food fight? LOOL but no. We have Xibo boxes showing odds and sods.
fairm010 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 We have two screens running xibo showing BBC Newsround, a clock, weather and club times.
eyetea Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 We have this social interaction thing going in our place during lunch and break-times... it's called 'conversation'! Is it quite an old version? I don't think it's compatible with modern day stuff? 1
Garacesh Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 We have this social interaction thing going in our place during lunch and break-times... it's called 'conversation'! I can't find that app on Google Play.. is it iOS only? 1
StevieM Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Is it quite an old version? I don't think it's compatible with modern day stuff? The original application is old, but the children get regular updates each day. I can't find that app on Google Play.. is it iOS only? No, it's multi-platform shareware - available in a variety of languages.
Garacesh Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 No, it's multi-platform shareware - available in a variety of languages. Is there a PC Master Race version with better graphics and a considerable fps boost? (This is the point where I'll plug a link to Outside: The free-to-play MMO, on reddit)
