This is… not eli5 material.

However, best eli5 is magnetism is a manifestation of the motion of electric charge. Basically if the electrons in a material are moving around sufficiently it will become magnetized. Similarly if a material passes through a magnetic field it will make the electrons move.

If you can make the electrons move a lot you have electricity, and so you can use moving magnets to generate electricity.
