An elementary approach for finding non-trivial parametric solutions to homogeneous symmetric Diophantine equations of odd degree in sufficiently many variables is presented. The method is based on studying a model case of quintic symmetric Diophantine equations in six variables. We prove that every symmetric form of odd degree n ≥ 5 in 6 ⋅ 2n - 5 variables has a rational parametric solution depending on 2n-8 parameters. We also present a solution to a problem of Waring type: if F(x1,…, xN) is a symmetric form of odd degree n ≥ 5 in N = 6 ⋅ 2n-4 variables, then for any q ∈ ℚ the equation F(xi) = q has a rational parametric solution depending on 2n - 6 parameters.
