The study aims to showcase the utilization of play-based activities in teaching young learners during Covid-19. During the early stage of the pandemic, all Early Childhood Education (ECE) centers in Indonesia were closed for nearly two years. In July 2020, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture published guidelines for implementing Curriculum under Special Circumstances to support the continuation of the learning process. The guidelines included the recommended educational modules for Early Childhood Learning to help the learning process from home by including activity-based education explanations for teachers, parents, and students. The preschool teachers in Indonesia had to adapt to the new guidelines to continue to educate their students at home. One of the adaptations was to use educational play-kits sent to the students directly to their houses for learning purposes. The method used in this research study is qualitative research through focus-group discussions with the respondents. The study observed 15 preschool teachers from three schools in Jakarta and Pandeglang who utilized play-based activities in their daily lesson plans for two weeks. The finding from the study concluded that play-based activities were effective for early childhood education programs during the pandemic, with solid support from the teachers and parents, sufficient training for the teachers, and a significant variety of activities for the students. In addition, key challenges to overcome in implementing play-based activities in an online setting were teachers' lack of technology-savviness, parents' limited mobile devices, network or connection problems, and budget constraints in developing play-based activities.

The sex education of children with LD (learning difficulties) has been researched less than that of typically developing children, which shows that more research is needed on the issue of sex education in children with LD (Barnard-Brak et al., 2014; Grove et al., 2018). Because children with LD do not know what to do and how to protect themselves when they are exposed to sexual abuse, it is necessary to provide those who are vulnerable with sufficient education (Lumley et al., 1998; Blake, 2013). Examining the opinions of the people and teachers who are closest to these children and educate them will contribute to this field. Interviews with 5 teachers based in the UK who work with children with learning difficulties aged 4-19 were conducted in 2020/2021. This qualitative research provides an overview of sex education and protection from sexual harassment, with a focus on sex education programmes such as RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) in special education schools, emphasizing their importance and developing programmes especially for children with LD. There is a review of the relevant literature and a section explaining the methodological approach chosen. The findings and analysis of the themes that emerged as a result of the interviews with the teacher participants are discussed, and recommendations for best practice in schools are identified, along with directions for future research on a larger scale.
