This paper investigated the meanings imbued by Physical Education teachers upon play activities with their students from the first primary education classes. We have employed semi-structured interview in order to analyze: the function of play within their work; the meanings coming from teachers of other disciplines and the administrative team about this work with play; and the conditions of the work with play. The results revealed: a tension between competing and cooperating, the devaluing of soccer and a search to re-signification; the valuing of the need to work on reading and writing; physical abilities and soccer; and the central issues are around the final goal of play and the “how” instead of “why”. We have reached the conclusion that work with play is going through a process of search for value and re-signification of its function, which reiterates the need for this historical approach for the subject that constitutes school-level Physical Education.
