ChildrensEvent

ChildrensEvent is an Event subtype for events aimed at children: kids' camps, children's theater, youth workshops, storytime sessions. It adds no properties of its own. The @type tells search engines this event targets a younger audience. Use typicalAgeRange (inherited from Event) to specify the age group, e.g. "5-12".

For a complete property walkthrough, see the Event example. Every property shown there applies to ChildrensEvent. Replace "@type": "Event" with "@type": "ChildrensEvent".
