The motivation in teaching during Primary Education seems increasingly necessary and important. For this reason, the goal of this study was to analyze the motivation in Physical Education classes in first cycle of Primary. For that, a series of interviews were made for the teachers (n = 2) and learners (n = 8) of a school in Huelva. After the analysis of these interviews, it was found that Physical Education teachers give much importance to the motivation within their classes, but also note that teachers are not formed academically as it should in this regard. Teachers also point out that motivation in Physical Education classes is very high, and learners corroborated it in interviews. For that, the main goal of Physical Education teachers should be to maintain motivation in the development of their classes. For this reason, a number of practical strategies are presented to maintain or improve motivation in Physical Education classes.
