The aim is to provide knowledge about educators ' views on physical activity in the transition between preschool and school. The selection consisted of pre-school teachers, teachers, and teachers specializing in sport. In total, six individual interviews were conducted and a focus group with four people. The results of the study show that transitions can be a challenge for both preschool teachers, teachers and children. If there is major change too fast between school forms and unstructured, it can contribute to a precariousness in the transition for children. There may be a risk of a decrease in physical activity without a structured interaction where the staff have an interaction between each other and their respective activities, therefore this study be important for pre-school and school activities in Transitions. Preschool teachers and teachers see synergy as an opportunity to maintain play and physics activity in transitions. It was considered important to take part of each other's experiences and competencies from the different educational contexts. One conclusion in the study is that it can be a challenge to create a sustainable transition structure for children to be able to maintain physical activity with an increased age.
