Could I just download electrum, and than send bitcoins to it than copy seed 3 times and give it to him?
But why?
You can create a paper wallet that holds the funds directly. Why would you go through the hassle of giving them 3 pieces of paper with a seed that is much more complicated to use, and poses a greater risk of getting compromised?
I get that you're more familiar with Electrum than you are with paper wallets, but that doesn't mean a paper wallet can't be the best option. The first reply to this thread explains all you need to know to learn how it works.
