I am looking for words that when spoken, will leave the mouth in the smiling position. Do I make any sense? I will appreciate what ever help you can extend. I also accept donation such as money and goods. Thanks my sweet autumn children.

I think that any words having an 'ee' or 'ai' or 'ei' sound as the main or last vowel will do what you want. This is why photographers often tell their subjects to "say cheese". This works to a point (think of someone saying "I hate cheese" with a frown or a look of disgust on their face!) but, really, if you want the person to smile rather than have a 'Cheshire Cat' grin, you have to get them to relax and feel happy. Smiling involves the eyes just as much as or more than the mouth. Smiling is also infectious: if you are relaxed and smiling (whilst you say something ridiculous, like "A wheelie bin full of cheese, please, Louise!"), then your subject or subjects will be much more ready to really smile.

@Mavic123456 I take it that you are thinking of taking photographs. That should certainly make your subject laugh (or smile, at least), even if he or she doesn't say it him/herself!

@owlwings no, no, no... i am thinking of a tongue twister for pronunciation activity. Thank you. I have another one in mind... The pesky kitties creep six sheep. or maybe you know a tongue twister that will result to this.

It should be a tongue twister to practice their mouth control. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't know any words other than cheese, which the photographer always tells you to say when he snaps your picture.

Kris Aquino, has a slight gaping smile when she is being photographed and it makes her look beautiful. So, i also would sometimes do it. I say eight , to be able to have a look like that. And i like the outcome. ??
