Thankfully, Nic Svenson and Piers Barnes of the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization have already done the heavy lifting. Their research calculates the number of photos you must take to virtually guarantee that nobody in a group will have their eyes closed.
Here’s their rule of thumb: For groups smaller than 20, divide the number of people by three if there’s good light and two if the light’s bad. That’s how many shots you need to take.

Great Article Rodolfo,
Or what you can do, you can ask everyone to close their eyes, tell them to open their eyes when you count to three. It's works well for me :) ( this works best with formal shoot though )
I do that counting thing too, but I add a dance twist.
five, six, seven, eight -- HIT IT! Shutter click on "hit it." People seem to love this more than the standard one two three. It makes them laugh a little bit and gets some music in their heads. Music makes me smile.
