On the cranks you only need the middle ring gear.
On the rear here is a kit:

If your bike is a full susp. you'll all so need the tensioner on the same page as the kit.

In theory you could just get a chain that would fit over one of the sprockets on the pedal and the rear. The others would still be there, but the bike would essentially be a one-speed because the chain would be fixed into place.

I don't know if this is the job for you. You don't really know the terminology that well. I can only assume you've never done much of this sort of thing before and you might have problems.

Take it to your LBS.
