Would you walk around with a frog on your face? At Carnival time in Mexico, anyone might! During Carnival, people dress up in strange and funny costumes and celebrate in the streets.

Some people wear masks with animals on them, like this one. Some of these masks represent the Devil.

What festivals do you celebrate by dressing in costume? Who do you pretend to be? Why?  
Carnival is celebrated around Latin America for several days during February or March. The date varies from year to year. For Christians, it is the time to feast before Lent.
