Abstract	Children, their families and teachers are working and playing in the context of ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. During successive lockdowns, restrictions on domestic spaces to play, social distancing and homeschooling have impacted in diverse ways on children's access to play. Additionally, the ways in which the pandemic has both exacerbated and uncovered inequality has led to the concept of 'lost learning'. While it is important to understand how children have been affected by school and closures, little attention has been paid by policymakers to children's lost opportunities for play. The article reviews the literature to date. It argues for a renewed appreciation of the importance of children's agency and play, which it is argued could also play a significant positive role in our journey back from the effects of the pandemic.
