That's exactly what I do. I do a 15 minute version of electron shuffle here, and then revisit when we do switches. The model serves as great support to vocabulary development as you go through the terms for electricity.

For example,
Current: How fast the electrons flow through the circuit (one coulomb/second). In model: how fast the students move through the path.

I'll attach a copy of a recent lesson plan.

I experienced the same problem and basically corrected with the same idea.
