One of the usual exercises is Conway's Game of Life.  Especially, do
it with test-driven development, in baby-steps.  Then make slightly
different assumptions in your tests and see how it influences your
implementation.

Then check out the Ruby Koans, and assorted repositories of Code
Katas.  If you get stuck on Dave Thomas's katas, you can see my
solutions to them on my blog (below).  :-)
