How to explain to children what electronics is?

Good afternoon!
I am a computer science teacher and this year I got interested in electronics. Or rather, methods, techniques and ways of teaching the basics of electronics to children. I believe that smart and experienced people are sitting here and therefore I decided to ask my question here.
Arduino and other boards are things that also have a lot to explain. What is electricity, voltage, resistance, circuits, analog electricity, etc. Therefore, I am not a supporter of work in this direction. In addition, it is necessary to have time to give children programming, which in itself is also a separate science.
Dear colleagues, do you know interesting ways, perhaps books, manuals, methods of explaining all this for children aged 10 years and older? To have more practice, and interesting and fun.
From what I already have, these are books by Revici, Platt.

Give the crown 9 volts and tell them to lick two contacts ... this is electricity ))
You can demonstrate an electrostatic machine. And then, explain that licking electricity more than 9 volts is fraught with burning of the tongue and death, so smart people came up with devices. Give me a voltmeter, a light bulb... then a resistance, a capacitor, a coil, a diode, a transistor... enter the concept of an analog signal, a digital one, and move on to programming.

Are you interested, but do you want to teach children? What for? Not included in the curriculum at all.
Do you know yourself, if it’s a problem for you to explain what schemes are?
Known, but I'm not your colleague, I'm a real engineer and programmer, unlike you. You don’t know much yourself, so you don’t know much about training, and if I give you advice, you won’t want to practice and you won’t be able to, so I don’t want to waste my time.
One and the same science, programming-electronics-psychology, they just intersect only in the in-depth areas of each of them.
Do you have lessons in collective laughter, or an electronics circle for those who are interested in it?

Didn't find what you were looking for?
