OBJECTIVE

The objective of this activity is for the cadets to become familiar with the RCAF NCM rank structure.

RESOURCES

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS

1.Tape one rank to the back of each cadet (the cadet does not get to see the rank that is on their back).

2.Have the cadets walk around and ask other cadets yes or no questions to determine what rank they are wearing. For example, “Do I have two chevrons?” The cadet has to determine from the answers to their questions what rank they are.

3.The cadets can only ask one question to each of the other cadets. They cannot ask the same cadet more than one question to determine what rank they are. This will ensure the cadets are interacting fully with the other members of the class.

4.Once cadets have determined what rank they think they are, have them form a group with any other cadets who are the same rank, if there are any.

5.After 10 minutes, have the cadets split into their rank groups. They will then present what rank they think they are based on the information they received. For example, if a group has determined they have only two chevrons on their back, they would present themselves as the corporal group / individual.
