The recreational physical games designed to raise the motivation in students with special educational needs have a significant importance for these from the physical and intellectual point of view, however, the perception of the phenomenon in some institutions, demonstrates insufficiencies in its application, such is the case of the special school Renato Olivier Galván, from the municipality of Moa, a program of recreational physical games is designed to raise the motivation for Physical Education classes in students with special educational needs, having as a basis the possibilities offered by physical recreation, school and students. Among the scientific methods that allowed to elaborate the proposal are: the analytic-synthetic, the inductive-deductive, the historical-logical, the hypothetical-deductive, the systemic-structural-functional. In the empirical ones, the observation, the individual interview, the survey and the experts' criterion. As a result, several physical activities adapted to the possibilities of the students were integrated into a program of recreational physical games to raise motivation for the classes. The pertinence of the program was determined, through the group consensus technique, which showed its potential to be applied in students with these characteristics.
