Link to Macroscopic Changes
Try demonstrating the reaction first, to show the macroscopic changes that occur, before introducing the equation. Copper in silver nitrate solution is a standard one. Explain it in terms of particles, the ions, atoms, show a video representation (for example from YouTube) of these changes, and then explain the whole thing in terms of the symbolic chemical equation to represent the overall change.
