For a five year old, terminal and console are two words that mean the same thing. You can argue about it when you are a teenager and stop caring when you are an adult. They are like a piece of paper. They come in many shapes and sizes and colors, but what is most important is that you can write on them, the other stuff is just up to your personal preference.
The command line is like a line on the piece of paper. It's just a place to write stuff.
A shell is like a pen or a pencil. It is a tool. Shells can be different like a pen or a pencil. Some write smooth. Others are very precise. So different people prefer different shells. And like a pencil or a pen is good at writing, a good shell has a purpose. It should allow you to tell computers what to do.
Together, that's the thing that ties them together. You write things with your shell, in a command line, on your terminal/console. And as a result, the shell tells the computer to do stuff for you.
