Abstract
This study was undertaken in Hong Kong, in which the influence of the COVID-19
pandemic on people from all walks of life was evident. Various preventive measures were
enforced, including the closure of many outdoor playgrounds and suspension of face-to-face
contact in schools. These preventive measures impacted children because of the restrictions on
their use of public facilities for leisure activities.
Playright has always promoted free play in Hong Kong and had considerable concerns
about the impact of the pandemic on children’s play. In this regard, Playright developed a free
play protocol that was implemented either in self-organized programmes or in partnership with
some kindergartens. Against this backdrop, this study examined the evidence-based outcomes
of the protocol.
