Default Making Learning Fun!

So, I have to give a small, 5 minute or so, presentation to a small group of my peers and an epidemiologist. He is...eccentric...and so has requested that, rather than lecturing on our selected topic, we come up with some sort of fun, engaging presentation. The class is Evidenced-based Medicine, which is sort of an intro to biostatistics and study design. My topic is Correlation.

I don't need any help explaining correlation to them. My classmates are mostly stats-challenged, and this is a fairly basic course. However, I'm not very creative, in general, and I have a hard time with projects like this. I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions. I figured this is at least tangential to the forum, and I know some of you are professors and teachers, and most of you are or were students. These are all grad students, and most of them have little stats knowledge. Can anyone think of any fun way of presenting the concept of Correlation? We're allowed to do basically anything, with no specific requirements. We were instructed to make it a "Explaining it to your parents who don't know anything" level of complexity.

Appreciate any help you guys have.
