Have your students draw a diagram of a series circuit and a parallel circuit using standard symbols. Teach them to make an electric game (cardboard box, battery, wiring, paperclips, lightbulb) in which the bulb lights up when the user chooses the right answer to a question. Ask them to name power-generating renewable and non-renewable sources of energy and to explain an electric bill.
