Using Google and searching for "hall effect" gives many answers. Here is one:

Use a sample of a semiconductor (charge carriers in semiconductors move faster than in metals), a horseshoe magnet and a high-impedance sensitive voltmeter (millivoltmeter is desirable, you may even need a microvoltmeter).
If you run current through your sample in the X direction, the lines of the magnetic field go in the Y direction, then the Hall voltage will appear in the Z direction.
If you do it with p-type and n-type semiconductors, let me know if you really got opposite signs of the Hall voltages on p and n semiconductors.
