Boil down what you want to say about correlation to one major theme, show a picture to demonstrate it, and invent some sort of activity that will make it clear.
For instance, if you want to stress that correlation does not imply a causal relationship, well, maybe track sizes of people, and also whether or not they pee standing up. They should come up with bigger people peeing standing up more of the time, so there would be some correlation. Then you point out that the actual cause is the sex of the individual, and not their size. It's not perfect, but it should get the idea across.
5 minutes is basically "no time at all" to teach something.

Right, I'm not really teaching it so much as bringing it up and highlighting it. There are 12 of us, each with our own topic, and this is all stuff that we are supposed to be familiar with. These are peers.
Thanks for the ideas.
