The article presents the importance of games and play activities for children in the first years of primary school during and after distance learning caused by COVID-19. The shift of education to online reality has been a challenging experience. Teachers had to find new ways to work with children, whereas kids had to cope with the new school reality. The aim of the article is to present the ways in which play-based activities were used by primary school teachers during remote education, based on an exploratory and descriptive study. The main research question was whether and how games and play-based activities were used during remote education in the first three grades of primary school in the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with primary school teachers and parents of students from grades 1–3. The main conclusion is that play, perceived as an important factor in early childhood education, was used by teachers in remote education to introduce a new topic, expand the scope of the material, involve children in the learning process, assess what they had learned and help to relax during classes, even if there were limitations arising from remote education and the specific needs of the youngest learners.

Properly conducted assessment aims to help students build self-confidence and develop an attitude toward effective learning but it also aims to show teachers the right path to create new educational challenges for students. Assessing the youngest children is particularly difficult, especially when it is done in remote education. The aim of this article is to analyse and present the issue of verifying the knowledge and skills of students from early primary school (grades 1–3) during distance learning. The authors of the article conducted a qualitative study before the third schools’ closure in Poland due to the coronavirus pandemic. The research question asked in the article is: How were early primary students’ knowledge and skills verified in remote education? The findings focus on the specific forms and challenges in assessing the children’s work and progress, even indicating statements about the pointlessness of assessing the youngest students during remote learning. Online assessment of the pupils was problematic due to the limited computer skills of the youngest children and the need for their parents’ support. Teachers’ statements included opinions regarding the reliability of the assessment. It was recognised that the process was prone to a significant degree of cheating.
