Mark's spelling maze 'g'

Mark's spelling maze 'g' - hancockmcdonald.com/materials/marks-spelling-maze-g
The letter 'g' is a hard sound /g/ in words like 'ago' but a soft sound in words like ages. It's usually soft before 'i' or 'e', but there are some very common exceptions like 'get', 'give' or 'girl'.
