If the 5 year old already has some experience with programming, then it may work:
One way to implement singleton pattern in JS, is to encapsulate (enclose) desired members into outer function, but provide reference to desired properties of these members using inner function (same scope as the members). We can then immediately execute (invoke) inner function, and assign the value to a variable in a global scope (or different scope depending on use).
Can you explain this to a 5 year old?

Thank you,
