In the last few years, the Argentine Government started to develop several Social Programs which their main objective was to promote the physical activity and the recreational games in vulnerable social environments. These programs are based in a wide and solid knowledge that was built towards the importance and influence that the achievement of the socialization has in childhood. In the paper, we introduce the advances and improvements that the research achieved related to program "Physical Activity in Family", and the social representations built by children between 6 and 12 years old and their reference responsible adults, both living in three different socio-residential areas such as urban environments or the shanty towns (“villas”) in La Matanza district. Six qualitative research interviews made to children and their reference responsible adults during the first four month period of 2012, participants and not participant of the program, are analyzed.
